Hi all, what I assume is a "simple question"

I have an attic fan with two control switches and I want to change from the silver/chrome faceplates to a light almond to match the other switches.
The two switches are

1) 12 hour timer
2) fan speed control

I don't even need to change the actual timer switch if I can find a new plate, I just hate where they are situated currently.

Here are the two faceplates. Any suggestions for the right things to get? I am more than glad to completely switch out the actual switches too if it is needed/easier20220731_135937.jpg20220731_140817.jpg

You could use plain old single gang switch plates if you don't care about the markings. You already know off- high- med- low and the timer is 12 hours with a full crank.

Almond spray paint and label/decal printer if you have it already?

Scan the plates before you paint them, then print out decal or make a template to spray black afterwards.

Probably too much work, but a thought nonetheless.
