+1 Cisco – They allow painting as long as it’s non-metalic (covered in
documentation). I know that all the APs I’ve ever had from Cisco are sealed (no
vents required for cooling), so that makes painting them less risky.

I have this discussion with architects all the time. They say “you want to put
THAT in MY building!?”. Uh, actually buddy .. it’s MY building .. and yes.
Granted, we use Xirrus arrays, so they are kind of sizeable.
Snarkiness aside, we have worked extensively with Architects to make everyone
Cisco explicitly permits painting their patch antennae, they state the
acceptable types of paint in their documentation. We've had to do this
before. It works, sorta...

This actually got a mention in one of the talks at Atmosphere 2016:

(I forget where in the talk it is.) Basically he says that they don't
automatically kill the warranty if it's painted, but they do reserve the right
to do so, especially if you end
If I may, before voiding the warranty as Bruce mentioned, maybe you could look
into a vanity cover of some kind that is paintable.
I know Oberon makes them (I assume they’re not the only ones). The covers are
compatible with Cisco and Aruba Aps among others.

Be sure you are not invalidating the AP warranty.
I believe painting an Aruba AP, for instance, voids the lifetime warranty.
