invisible? no Bad to see? Yes. I think they do their job well and look better than the alternative that runs speaker wire up the walls when in-wall installation is not an option. Visibility depends on lighting and viewing angle. It would probably be a little better to match the texture of the wall paint. As long as it holds up well. I used a heavy credit card or something like a window tool to press it down and smooth it out as much as possible. Terminations take some practice, but if you watch the video and use Sewell adapters, it's not that difficult. I checked my work with a multimeter every time. I am very happy with them and so is my wife (most importantly).
