What paint type for a cavity wall meter box.

[epsilonGreedy]

My cavity wall electric meterbox was supplied by the DNO, it is an offwhite colour and I think it is thin GRP.

 

What paint is suitable for this job?

What colour do you want it ..?

 

Spray looks best, light sand with 120 wet and dry then prime and a couple of top coats. Take the door off if possible to get a better finish.

I was planning to take a brick into the paint mixing counter at B&Q to get a colour for my buff wall, then I was going to tweak the brick colour on the computer by making it a bit more grey and darker.

That is simple to arrange because the DNO broke the hinge on their last visit, I could not complain because I wrangled a free re-connection of the live fee up through the cavity hockey stick feed into the meter box. I understand that can cost ££ hundreds if booked as a job by a householder.
