About P.O. Red Enamel
P.O. Red is the classic post-office red: a bright, glossy red for gates, grills, signboards, letter boxes and safety markings.
It's a bold colour that stands out from a distance, which makes it useful for anything that needs to be noticed.
It's also used on fire-safety items, pipes and machinery guards, where red is the conventional warning colour. On homes, P.O. Red gates and doors give a bold, traditional look against white or cream walls.

How to apply
Remove rust, old flaking paint and grease, then sand the surface lightly. Apply a suitable primer — red oxide or zinc chromate for iron, wood primer for wood. Brush on two thin coats of enamel, thinning with mineral turpentine as directed on the tin, and let the first coat dry fully before the second.
Recommended primer: Red oxide or zinc chromate primer on iron; wood primer on wood.
