The cover is molded from a plastic material wherein the surface of the cover has a particular, known texture pattern formed integrally therein. The particular pattern is selected from a group of texture patterns which are well known in the trade. After the cover is molded, a primer is sprayed thereon so that the textured surface will readily accept and retain paint such as that used to paint the wall.
