Can you paint a gas meter box?

A new coat of paint is not enough to protect the meter but may mask more significant damage as it develops. While it’s fine to paint your external gas or electric meter box, there are some things you should bear in mind while you do it. Firstly, take care when painting around the hinges and latches.

What paint should I use on my meter box?

The right paint for your meter box will depend on its age, condition and what it’s made of. An oil-based gloss suitable for outdoor use is often a good choice, but you should check the exact specifications of any paint before you purchase. If you have a plastic meter box, we also suggest applying a coat of high-quality primer first.

Can you paint the outside of an electrical box?

Yes, the outside of the electrical box can be painted if it is placed on the homeowners’ property. However, it’s not allowed to paint anything that is placed inside the box. That’s because electrical components inside the box, such as fuses, circuit breaker switches, or housing, are dangerous.

When should I paint my meter box?

Although painting your meter box isn’t a long job, it’s important to time it properly. As with all external paint jobs, late spring or early summer is the best seasonal choice. Warmer weather and longer days will help it dry out properly – and obviously avoid damp days too.

How to paint a box?

Take photos of the box from all angles. The photos will help you plan your painting, and also remind you of how people will see each surface. Measure all surfaces to be painted. Use the photos and measurements to draw up a blank template of the box with correct proportions. You can sketch this on paper or make a digital template.
