What types of paints to paint the box? Acrylic or solvent that you use? Do I need to cover the box with soil?

either way you go , acrylic or solvent ... I would start with a good self etching primer to make sure it sticks in all weather. unless you are just doing a clear coat by itself or covering a sticker. a heat gun set on low in between coats can help keep it rock hard and on the substrate.

Pretty much any spray can stuff can be used after the box is primed.
Hobby shop paints come in some cool colors too.

Traditionally people use enamel
I use acrylic because it's cleaner to use, but colors are less bright than enamel.

Enamel is the way to go, it relics great too, if you're into that.

Im try acrylic
1 layer spray acrylic, create tone color
2 layer my paints
3 layer transparent spray
perhaps even add decorative elements, sequins and all that should be fun.
It remains only to buy paint, I think I get, I want to try so long to do design for the pedals. Tired of printing the design on sticky paper.
