How to paint concrete letterbox?

Hi,

I'm looking at painting my letterbox but wondering what type of paint to use. This is the letterbox https://www.bunnings.com.au/northcote-pottery-vermont-charcoal-elite-pillar-letterbox_p3210285

Re: paint letterbox

Hi @janstr,

 

That is a concrete reinforced letterbox with an unknown paint/coloured oxide on it. I'm not aware of any paint specifically for this situation. If you do want to paint it, I suggest cleaning it thoroughly with Sugar Soap and flushing it with fresh water. After it has dried entirely, your best bet would be to use an exterior paint such as Dulux Weathershield.

 

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Re: paint letterbox

Thanks for that. Would I be able to use any brand of exterior paint? As long as it's for exterior

Re: paint letterbox

Any brand of exterior paint would likely work just as well, @janstr.
