Sexy mailbox

What is a new house without a cool mailbox? If you are tired of the usual, then spray paint something cool. My method can be used to do other designs, although orange and hot pink tiger stripes are HOT. Some may find this easier to get a clean, complicated design than cutting a stencil from paper.

Step 1 Get Supplies

mailbox
painter's tape- wide tape is faster
spray paint- orange and hot pink (or whatever you like)
acrylic paint- black (or whatever again)
xacto knife
tracing paper- or freehand if you like

Very nice... though if i was standing suggestively like that, our mailman would likely scream and run in terror :)

I would also suggest doing something about that horribly boring wood. I suggest yellow because i like it - but anything other than "natural wood" would do :)

well...The pose next to the mailbox was not meant to be suggestive. But, the mailbox is sexy enough to steam up any photo. I can see that now. I am starting to see candy stripes on the post. uh-oh.

Maybe "suggestively" was a stronger word than i meant.

I get the image of those red/white striped barber-shop signs...
(i hope this "seeing colours" is not contagious - though i hear some people will pay for the experience, so i guess i should thank you for the freebie ;-)
