Do you recommend painting the inside of a fence?

Hello Joann,
We have disguised our two electrical panel boxes in our finshed basement by putting large paintings over them. Thry pop off very easily when acess is needed. The most economical way to accomplish this is to go to your local thrift store very often large framed canvas often faded and ugly art pieces can be found $5 to $10. You can either put in your own photograph poster repaint the canvas with primer and make an abstract paint a favorite saying or find a replacement piece of art to put in there. Use spray paint to recolor the frame, thinking creativity to make the old and ugly new and more personal to your aesthetic.
i hope this helps.

By code you cannot conceal a circuit box.
Don't! In most areas it's a code violation and a fire hazard. If it's on a wall in a living area try painting it.
Hi JoAnn. Legally, a circuit or panel box can not be covered. I’m hoping it is a true circuit box and not your panel box you are referring to. For something to just hide it, give these a thought;

Thanks for the input
If possible place a nail about 3/4 or 1 full inch above the box and hang a picture. Easy to remove when you need to get too the box.
