can I paint the emergency speaker?

[Anonymous]

My condo has a red emergency speaker mounted on the wall. Will it hurt the function of it at all if I paint it? I know it's a small thing, but I have an open floor plan and a small place so it kind of feels like a zit on the face of my home.

I had a fire alarm pull and I put a frame around it.

I painted my speakers. They were in every room. But those are just he speaker covers. Not sure about a red one. Can you ask on your condo list serve?

We call them wall warts.

As long as you're just painting the outside surface, and not squeezing paint into the interior, you're fine.

Go for it, and just be prepared to squabble about a hit on your security deposit when you move.

Thanks everyone! I figured it would be fine but appreciate the confirmation. I think I'll take the covers off to paint them to be on the safe side.

I own the place, so original aesthetics aren't a concern.
