I think you did the right thing. I would advise to block Boston's access to the wall. Paints can contain toxins which could harm him. Aside from blocking the area, offer him boxes and other places to hide/play in. Offer him rabbit friendly chews toys (a variety of them) to satisfy his desire to chew. You could also stop at the local pet store and ask about any spray/gel that you could put on the wall that taste bad. It may help to discourage the behavior. Hope this helps!
