In this video, U Do It shows you how to improve the look of a mailbox post using paint, some contrasting raised numbers, and a set of solar lights. The paint used was Rust-Oleum Door & Trim Paint. I instantly became a fan of this paint when I used it to paint the doors of our shed. The paint dried instantly and I was able to apply a 2nd and even a 3rd coat by the time I finished painting the door. And, the satin sheen gives it the perfect look.
Our son's friend ran over our original mailbox with his car. We had a small mailbox, and after the accident, I purchased a large architectural mailbox and mounted it to a 6x6 pressure-treated post installed in concrete. It has remained in this unpainted condition since November 2019 as shown in this video here: youtube.com/watch?v=HoJvef2Ub4g
