You could mount something over it that is attached to the wall not the ONT, provided it has adequate ventilation for passive air movement
For example a wooden cover that matches the timber the wall is made of. People do that to cover central heating radiators and it looks OK.
Looking at our ONT it's a plastic cover with very fine ventilation slots that would very easy to remove but a PITA to paint or apply contact to.
I've modified it with some tape across the LEDs, as the office has a pullout bed in it. As is common with many devices, whoever designed the ONT evidently thought they were building airport landing lights!!

Hi, yes I agree with your idea of a simple wood panel cover to match the wall, regarding the lights, the 300 series has a lights off button, I think just the power led remains on, but most importantly its dimmed during lights off and does not flicker as the other do.

Ubiquiti sells "skins" for their access points, the only point of contention here is messing with something that's being leased to you.

Looking at the Chorus site we have either a 100 or 200. But the tape works!

Perhaps consider using furniture pens/markers?
- carefully 'colour it in'
(assuming the furniture pen adheres to the plastic.... might need extra drying time).

Handle9: There’s no technical reason you couldn’t paint it, providing you can take it apart and put it back together.
You break it you bought it would apply as it’s not your property but if it continues chugging along no one is going to know or care.
At least until you move and try to flog it on TradeMe. Then someone might notice.
But then it's upgraded and you can make your listing more attractive!
