I have used the gray electrical boxes outdoors since about 1989.
They will degrade somewhat over time due to UV light.  Of
course this is Colorado and the amount of UV is somewhat higher
due to our elevation.

For maximum lifetime I would (and now do) put a coat of
white house paint on the boxes.  It extends their life greatly
when exposed to direct sunlight.
