My gas and electric meter boxes for the past few years have looked terrible, peeling paint and broken hinges.
Last weekend I decided to fix the hinges (easy job with meter door repair kit) and then sand off all the old paint from meter boxes frame (housing) and doors and fill where necessary using a plastic filler called Big Boy Plastic Flexi Filler.
Filler (Big Boy Plastic Flexi Filler) was good and dried in about an hour and fairly easy to smooth down.
Once sanded and smoothed down, gas and electric meter boxes frames and doors where painted with Zinsser Allcoat exterior satin paint which covered both filler and sanded areas in one coat, but paint was a little on the thin side so I applied a second coat.

Gas and Electric meter boxes re-assembled and looking much cleaner.
Note: Meter boxes frames where hand painted with a paint brush, meter doors where painted with a roller as to large an area to hide brush stroke easily and finish looks smoother and more consistent.
(should have cleaned meter boxes better before taking photo)
