What paint should I use on my mailbox?

What paint should I use on my mailbox?

Heavy-gauge galvanized steel construction and a powder-coated finish make Mail Boss locking mailboxes durable and built-to-last. But even powder coat finishes can be damaged due to accidents, vandalism, and long-term environmental weathering. If your Mail Boss gets scratched or dinged and the powder-coated finish is compromised, it is important to use the right touch-up paint. We typically recommend Rust-Oleum® to prevent rust from forming.



Mail Boss Recommended Touch-Up Paints:


     Black: Rust-Oleum® Universal® Hammered Spray Paint in Black


     Granite: Rust-Oleum® Stops Rust® Protective Enamel Spray in Smoke Gray


     White: Rust-Oleum® Stops Rust® Protective Enamel Spray in Canvas White


    Alpine White: Rust-Oleum® Professional High Performance Enamel in Semi-Gloss White


     Galaxy: Rust-Oleum® Stops Rust® MultiColor Textured Spray in Aged Iron
