How do I paint a plastic mail box and it's stand to look like old metal?
The mail box stand is styled to look like a heavy expensive metal stand with the all the nice webbing. The problem is that it's black plastic and it looks like plastic. How can I paint it to look like old metal?
You can use a silver silver color to paint the mailbox but make sure you first use a primer that is recommended for plastic. After priming and painting, if you want a more rustic look, use the same silver color you painted the mailbox with and mix just a little brown paint and dab this over some areas with a piece of sponge. For an even more rustic look, add just a bit of red paint for an even more weathered look. One tip though, get a practice surface and try this before you paint the mailbox. This technique takes a little practice, but it should give you the desired effect.
