Mailbox Care
Keeping your painted mailbox new looking is very easy to do.
When I send out my mailboxes, they are already coated with 4 to 5 coats of exterior varnish.
I use Decoart’s nonyellowing interior/exterior varnish, which is available at your local craft stores. I apply the varnish with a foam brush which gives a nice heavy coating.
Varnish’s are also available in a spray formula, but I prefer brushing it on. The coating I apply will last for several years, but if you find your mailbox starting to loose it shine, just give it a quick clean to remove any dirt and then brush on your varnish.
Another great way to keep your mailbox in new condition just apply a coat of car wax just as you would to your car. Be sure not to let bird droppings stay on your mailbox as this will damage the finish.
Just by keeping my mailbox clean from dirt and debris and a little TLC, your new painted mailbox will last for many years.
