Preparation:
1- Remove the mailbox from the post (remove the several screws that line the bottom of the box, keep in a safe place).

2- Remove all loose paint from the wooden post, wash off any dirt and debris with detergent, remove any mildew stains with a product such as BEHR® MILDEW STAIN REMOVER NO. 62.

3- Scuff sand glossy surfaces and any rough areas.

4- Countersink nail heads, repair imperfections and sand smooth. Exterior latex caulk can also be used to fill cracks.

5- Remove all dust with a damp cloth, allow to dry.

6- Apply an exterior primer to bare wood areas (Hallman-Lindsay recommends an oil-based primer. An inexpensive brush could be used then discarded if you don't want to mess with the mineral spirits cleanup. Follow product directions).

7- Apply the approved exterior stain color (2 coats recommended). Allow adequate dry time between coats.

8- Reattach the mailbox or replace with a new one (see above).

9- Carefully paint your address numbers with the Forest Green paint (2 coats recommended). Touch up as needed.
