DIY: Repaint Your Mailbox

STEP 1: Depending on the amount of paint still left on your mailbox you may want to strip the paint. Using a paint scraper lightly go around the mailbox on all sides removing the paint.

STEP 2: Prime the mailbox. You can use household wall primer available at most local home stores.

 

STEP 3: Paint your mailbox your choice of base color. My mailbox was originally red so i decided to repaint it red, but brighter. Remember you may have to do more than one coat of paint. I used basic acrylic paint. Also, be sure that your paint is waterproof as a mailbox is outside and will get wet.

STEP 4: PERSONALIZE! BE ORIGINAL!!!! Make sure that your mailbox looks like no one else's.

DON'T FORGET TO LAY NEWSPAPER DOWN!!!
