Can You Paint Over LED Strips?
There are a few different ways to paint over LED light strips. The first would be using spray paints, which can work well for small projects and tight spaces like the inside of your car or around an office desk.
A second option is acrylic paint, which will need to be brushed on after allowing it to dry for 24 hours. You’ll want to use colors that have a gloss finish so they don’t wear off quickly! Or you could try latex house painting or interior/exterior wall paint instead since these types are specially formulated not only for durability but also water resistance in areas where weather conditions may change often (like by an open window).
* a warning: There’s no guarantee how long any type of painted surface will last.
