We've tried a few things over the years to get the number to stay readable on metal mailboxes, but so far they've all failed within a year or so. I've tried the stick-on numbers from the hardware store and my mother tried paint years ago that only lasted a few months but I can't recall what type it was. I've just gotten a new extra large metal mailbox and want to try again to have readable numbers and I am hoping someone on here will know the right type of paint to use. I've been to a couple of auctions where they marked the lot numbers on everything before the sale, and a wagon I bought at one still has readable numbers after being out in the weather for 3 years. It looks like it was done with some type of marker, possibly, though it could be a brush. I will be very grateful for any advice. For the past few years our mailbox has said _3_ which is sort of sad looking. It's supposed to be 136 but for some reason the 3 is the only one that the black part of the sticker lasted. Thank you very much.
