A white receptacle plate is 35 cents at home depot.
The house is 6,400sqft, was built in 1974, has 2 levels and a whole lot of outlet covers and switch covers. The covers have some detail to them and are almond in color. They wanted to keep them because they are original to the house and look nice and that is why we are painting them and I am also clear coating them as well.

To put in perspective, I have 75 of them from the main level of the house and that isn't even all of them and there is still the bottom level. That's a lot of covers that would add up if replacing all of them.
