Access panel that doesn’t look cheap?

Need an access panel in the hallway for water lines. Hate how most look like an obvious patch. Any that blend in better after painting?

The key is a flush-mount frame and a door that sits completely flat. Cheap ones have visible gaps or cheap plastic that shows every fingerprint. I went with this one because the frame is slim and the door has a nice matte finish that takes paint well. After priming and two coats it basically disappears into the wall: https://www.amazon.com/Access-Panel-Drywall-Plumbing-Durable/dp/B085617TBL?tag=contractorhub-20 Strong magnets keep it closed without any play. Been up for over a year now and still looks sharp. Much better than the wobbly ones from the hardware store.
