    You can get a 20 amp gray GFCI in gray. I have one in my garage right now.

    Yeah, unfortunately I have 5 receptacles to switch over that I had this guy install plus faceplates including the one I put in, and that isn't including the receptacles that were there already for the garage door openers that are not GFCI

    35 bucks is a lot cheaper than replacing all the outlets. Thanks! Sparky I owe you a beverage or two if you are in my neck o the woods!

    You don't need to do every receptacle. Just the first one in the circuit and put the rest on the load side of the gfci receptacle

    Yeah, but I'm a little OCD... There are 3 outlets on the wall and if I do that, one will be a grey square with a black faceplate and all the others will be different LOL

    don't put multiple gfci receptacles on a circuit unless you have to. If you do you need to pigtail your wires instead of daisy chain
