MAILBOX:
- Wrap mailbox flag with painters tape to protect it from the paint.
- Using an all-purpose cleaner, thoroughly clean the mailbox to remove dirt, oils and dust. Rinse thoroughly with water and allow mailbox to dry.
- If paint or rust is flaking off the surface, use a wire brush or sandpaper to remove it. Wipe clean.
- Applying in a well-ventilated area, hold can of Krylon® Dual® Superbond&Reg; Satin Hunter Green 6-8 inches from the surface and paint using a sweeping side-to-side motion with slight overlap.
- Allow paint to dry for 30-60 seconds.
- Continue to apply light, multiple coats, waiting 30-60 seconds between each, until you are satisfied with the appearance.
- Make sure the mailbox is completely dry before you remove the painters tape from the flag.
