Outside Electric Meter Box Painting.
When we moved in this house, over twenty years ago, the previous occupant had painted the white meter box with some kind of dull brown paint. It looks like fence paint.
Over the years this has worn away and we now have an unsightly looking box with areas of white showing through. It look a mess.
What sort of paint shall I use to repaint it? The original box was white plastic.

It's a bit late now though with that brown stuff on it.
So... If it's a painted, rendered wall, then just rub down and paint it in with the masonry paint. It helps to "lose" the box to the eye as well.
Otherwise, use an exterior eggshell (if you don't want gloss.)
This is just one of them...

Give it a good old rub-down though first.
