Can you paint the front of a receptacle?

There is nothing in the white book about paint. As the first note says, “not evaluated” thus they don’t know.


BTW they haven’t evaluated using receptacles for the support of “wall warts” either. Do you write them up?

Greg,


I was not arguing at all about what UL does and does not know.

I was simply stating that I will continue to write up painted receptacles when they are causing hazards.

In the end, I agree the inspector has to decide for themselves whether or not to write them up. I certainly was not trying to change your mind but you seem offended that I am not changing mine. ![icon_cool.gif](upload://oPnLkqdJc33Dyf2uA3TQwRkfhwd.gif)
