Metal mailbox
You've known it a long time. A personality change is just what your old mailbox needs. Sunburst Yellow provides a bright glow and a sunny spot for your next mail delivery. Add spray painted house numbers to give it an even more upscale look.
- First thing's first, shake the can for approximately one minute before you hear the mixing ball rattle. This will make sure your paint is properly mixed.
- Next, hold the can 10-16" away from the surface you want to paint, then begin spraying in light, even coats create a beautiful finish that will last a long time. Add another coat of paint within the first hour or wait 48 hours for the best result.
- Finally, let the last coat dry for approximately 1 hour and then glue on your address numbers. You'll be ready to collect your mail again in no time.
Tip: A few light coats of Stops Rust Clean Metal Primer are recommended before spray painting. Primer maximizes the rust protection on your outdoor metal project.
