UPDATING THE MAILBOX

After living here for almost 10 years, the mailbox was showing wear, especially a lot of rust.  It was time to freshen it up.


After purchasing a new mail box, Mr. Thrifty scraped the pole using a wire brush.  He then applied two coats of a product which turns rust into metal.  It is an amazing product.  We then spray painted two coats of high gloss Ultra 2 black paint.

The biggest challenge in doing this project was finding the exact type font of adhesive numbers to put on the box itself.  After 2 months of looking, I found  2 inch numbers that resembled the original font  It wasn't a perfect match, but we were happy with the results. I found the numbers at Staples.





We are very happy with the results.
