How Do You Decorate An Outside Wall Electrical Conduit?
Conduits exposed on the outside of your home may look awkward or unsightly. Often, it is necessary not to block these conduits as they have been carefully installed for a purpose. At the same time, if the conduit is left a metal silver color or a plastic white or gray and those colors are not even close to the color of your home, the conduit may stand out and detract from the appearance and curb appeal. Decorating conduit can be as simple as painting. Apply mineral spirits to a rag and wash the outside of new metal conduit. Wear rubber gloves. Many types of metal conduit have an oily residue from the manufacturing process and this oil will inhibit paint adhesion. Brush off any existing dirt and debris, old paint or rust with a small wire brush. This is particularly important if the conduit has rusted at the edges or if it has been painted several times and has peeling paint. Remove anything loose or dirty so that your new paint will adhere well. Sand the conduit with a medium-grit sand
