I've taken those heater & a/c boxes a different direction that's cheap & looks pretty decent. I block them down w/some 320/400, apply one or two coats of primer & then shoot them w/a 'textured finish' art-deco type paint. Once that dries, I spray some Krylon satin-black & low-luster clear as the top coat. Adding some stainless hardware doesn't hurt while you're at it.
It gives it a consistent textured appearance & is still easy to touch-up is needed.
