Customized Connectors
It’s easy to add a unique dimension to your projects with 
just a splash of color on the connectors.
1.  Use a rag and mineral spirits to remove oil and the bar code sticker from 
the connector.
2.  Apply white vinegar with a rag or sponge to make the connector more 
receptive to paint. Rinse with water and dry thoroughly.
3.  Use spray paint to coat the connectors.* Choose a paint appropriate for 
outdoor or indoor use. To avoid drip marks, apply successive thin coats 
rather than a single heavy coat. Dry between coats.
*If paint doesn’t have primer, you’ll need to prime the connector.
