This is the way to go. That way you make it look like anything you like. If I ever get a faceplate, this is the one I'm getting.

lol. the face plate idea is so queer.

The problem with paint is that it chips and scratches, exposing whatever is under it.
Dye actually bonds with and colors the plastic.
I'm sure there's a primer out there on the subject, but this guys experience with it is pretty typical:

Yeah, that is why I asked if there was a clear cover. If you paint the inside, the clear cover will protect the paint. You also get the added bonus of not having to go to extra lengths like a gloss coat or baking it to get it to harden.
