Standard Powder Coat Colours

Bright White

This white has a tinge of blue, and is a very clinical white. It has a very clean and stylish look in a bank/cluster of letterboxes.

Consumers have a choice of either a silver “Mail” sticker with silver coloured numbers eg, Bright Chrome, Satin Chrome or Brushed Stainless steel numbers or gold “Mail” sticker and polished brass numbers.

Deep Ocean Satin (aka Mountain Blue)

To compliment the guttering on modern homes using this blue shade , a single residential letterbox in this colour would be ideal. For banks/clusters of letterboxes there are a couple of choices in the numbering strip; Silver with black writing or Black with white writing are common.

Heritage Green

This shade of green has been used for roofs and guttering historically, and is not used as frequently in modern properties.

For residential letterboxes a gold “Mail” sticker with polished brass numbers looks quite stylish.

Primrose

Purchasers have noted this is a buttery-cream colour. Residential or commercial property banks/clusters of letterboxes usually have an Almond number strip.

For residential letterboxes a gold “Mail” sticker with polished brass numbers looks quite stylish.

Black

Being a dark colour the object often appears to disappear, therefore we do not recommend this shade for single letterboxes near driveways as they are more likely to be hit by moving vehicles.

Excellent colour for corporate properties.

There are three versions of black available in our standard range:

• Coral Black Gloss (Interpon) – very shiny and shows all finger marks. The sun will cause this to craze in time outdoors. Looks quite impressive in a lobby;
• Satin Black (Jotun) – has a sheen. Easy to clean and doesn’t show the finger prints as easily;
• Matt Black (Jotun) – very dull finish.

Choice of stickers and numbers for this colour is either a gold “Mail” sticker and polished brass numbers or a silver “Mail” sticker with Bright Chrome, Satin Chrome or Brushed Stainless steel numbers.

Bright Silver

Modern colour that looks quite good in a bank/cluster of letterboxes. Government housing use this colour for their letterboxes.

Customers have the choice of either a black “Mail” sticker and black numbers or a silver “Mail” sticker with Bright Chrome, Satin Chrome or Brushed Stainless steel numbers.

Common Custom Colours

Monument

Very modern colour, used in a lot of architecturally designed properties.

Purchasers can choose gold “Mail” stickers and matching Polished Brass numbers or silver “Mail” stickers and matching numbers in either Polished Brass, Chrome or Stainless Steel.

Colorbond Shale Grey

Used as the main colour on residences. Also a colour used for window and door frames.

Woodland Grey

Modern architecture uses darker shades for banks/clusters of letterboxes. We often use black strips with white writing for the number strips.

Single residential letterboxes in this shade have the option of either a gold “Mail” sticker and polished brass numbers or a silver “Mail” sticker with Bright Chrome, Satin Chrome or Brushed Stainless steel numbers.

Basalt

Single residential letterboxes in this colour have the option of either a gold “Mail” sticker and polished brass numbers or a silver “Mail” sticker with Bright Chrome, Satin Chrome or Brushed Stainless steel numbers.

Pearl White Gloss

It is a very clean white. Very aesthetically pleasing. Sometimes customers prefer a black strip with white writing to compliment the look of the bank/cluster of letterboxes.

Flame Red

This sample is not really indicative of the colour as its more like a Fire Engine than this dark image shows. This powder makes a statement as it easily seen.

This is a very impressive bank/cluster of letterboxes when combined with black and or French Blue.

For residential letterboxes a gold “Mail” sticker with polished brass numbers looks quite stylish.

French Blue Gloss

This blue has a very nautical feel to it. This is a wonderful accent to a property with Bright White and French Blue.

Purchasers can add either a gold “Mail” sticker and polished brass numbers or a silver “Mail” sticker with Bright Chrome, Satin Chrome or Brushed Stainless steel numbers.

Pommel Blue

Consumers can choose a gold “Mail” sticker and polished brass numbers or a silver “Mail” sticker with Bright Chrome, Satin Chrome or Brushed Stainless steel numbers.

Navy Blue

Purchasers can choose to have either a gold “Mail” sticker and polished brass numbers or a silver “Mail” sticker with Bright Chrome, Satin Chrome or Brushed Stainless steel numbers for this colour.

Safety Yellow

Customers please note this colour is a much brighter yellow in real life.

Top Line Concrete Tools use this hue in their products, to enable tradespeople to find their tools easily.

Charcoal

A modern colour often used in large banks/clusters of letterboxes in commercial properties.

Customers have the choice of either a gold “Mail” sticker and polished brass numbers or a silver “Mail” sticker with Bright Chrome, Satin Chrome or Brushed Stainless steel numbers, with this shade.

Anodic Natural

This has been used on architecturally designed buildings for window frames and slat shades for windows.

Single residential letterboxes a silver “Mail” sticker with Bright Chrome, Satin Chrome or Brushed Stainless steel numbers looks quite pleasant.

Elements Weathered Steel

This powder has a slight texture and is reminiscent of Corten steel. Is a lovely rust hue. The textured effect of this powder is such that it has a tendency to hide scuff and scratch marks and is used in areas where the powder will be subject to high traffic.

Banks/clusters of letterboxes have a very pleasant aesthetic with black number strips and white writing.

Single residential letterboxes in this colour would suit a gold “Mail” sticker and Polished Brass numbers.

Speciality Colours

Architecturally designed buildings often require specialty colours. At Brisbane Powder Coaters we can source these powders. Customers need to be aware there would be a larger surcharge incurred as we would need to purchase a specific powder.

Examples of specialty colours we have sourced and provided for specialty orders are: Anodic Natural Matt, Weathered Steel.

Flat Black (RAL9005)

Unlike our other black colours, this one has a very dull flat black appearance. It is a specialty colour because it requires a hotter oven and a longer curing time.
