Is it okay to paint door and window sensors? Specifically 2gig dw10 and dw20.
My window and door frames are brown. If not what do people do when they have dark colored frames?

thanks

Yes, you can paint them, I would avoid painting motion detectors, but door sensors should be fine as long as you do not use metallic paint.

Only thing I will say about painting over sensors u might have trouble opening them when it comes time to change batteries

That’s a good point! So remove the covers and carefully paint them separated and then reinstall.

Believe it or not Interlogix. With the last wireless contacts they sold sent an option to have a white cover or brown cover for both magnet and sensor

When it comes to painting door and window sensors like the 2gig dw10 and dw20, it’s generally not recommended. Painting them could potentially interfere with their functionality and affect their performance. However, if you have dark-colored frames and want to maintain a cohesive look, you can explore other options. Some people use decorative covers or casings to conceal the sensors and blend them with the frame color. Alternatively, you could consider consulting with a professional from a skirting board company. They might have creative solutions or suggestions to help you address this issue while maintaining the aesthetics of your windows and doors.
