There has rarely been a switch/socket that doesn't accept and retain paint, any decorator will testify to that. Innovation would be a light switch which can't be painted. The problem with painting them is that paint picks up the dirt from fingers and shiny plastic/metal is easier to clean. The type that have been around for years are flush fit with a plastic overlay that can be cleaned, probably the best long term option although a pre-cat spray job would be durable and easy to clean.
