Painting Nest products

You should not paint your Nest products because painting or covering them can affect their sensors, performance, and functionality and may void your warranty. However, there are a few Nest accessories and parts that can be painted to match your home.

In general, Nest products should never be painted, dyed, or covered with fabric or other materials.

Do not paint:

Google Nest Protect
Google Nest cameras
Google Nest thermostats
