The top and side piece near the lock were swollen and damaged from insects and rot. I removed those pieces and made new ones from 3/4" MDF. These were originally sprayed so that the back edges of those trim pieces were base coat (purple) and not black, and the top face of the top piece was purple. I'll spray em black, use a pin nailer to secure and Titebond glue to reinstall, after the backbox is repainted.
Here are a few before pics of the Dracula backbox. Some dings and chips and some rough spots were filled where the trim pieces were removed. I did not use a paint stripper, but sanded though MOST of the factory paint to get a smooth base for the primer.
Already applied filler, but before final sanding and primer coats:
