How to paint numbers on a mailbox
Hi Linda, if you want to clean the brass so it looks better you can use a product called Brasso. However, if you want to change up the look you could clean it well and spray paint it and then stencil or decoupage it to suit what you'd like it to look like. I redid one a long time ago. Painted the inside a bright turquoise and the outside a sedate black. It seemed to make the mail man smile. You could glam it up by applying a few "jewels" or even those flat glass rounds available at the Dollar store.
Or you can clean it up and spray paint it with
Rustoleum color of your choice.
