At any rate, I used it on a friends mailbox years ago, and it held up great....it is still there to this day. In addition, I also made a mistake on the mailbox and had to sand off a letter....After correcting the spelling error, I resprayed the mailbox it with krystal klear and the error could not be detected.

However there are some universal considerations : Do they already come with paint or in metal ? If with paint it's important to know what kind and if metal on sight, what kind of metal. Light metals as alluminium (sp?), zinc and alikes are problematic and will need an appropriate primer such as a wash-primer. Then you'll apply the appropriate primer taking into account the kind of paint you'll use. Now, when you mention acrylic do you mean waterborn or thinner ? One more thing, the metal should be sanded with a sanding pad and then degreased. You may e-mail me with more specific details if you wish to since I don't paint mailboxes but I sell auto-refinish paints.
