Olympic exterior (latex) paint
D62-6 satin
at Lowes.
These data points presented to the assister at the paint counter are then typed into their tinting machine.  They then put the paint in a device to shake it.
Whole thing takes five minutes if there is no one else in line.

Some of the post was weathering poorly and I used two coats.  A quart is probably enough for three mail box posts with two coats each.
Take the numbers off and sand the post before painting.  Soap and water and a scrub brush gets the bird doo off. 
By the way, I replaced the rusting screws with stainless steel wood screws from Lowes.
Note: The numbers are actually black plastic painted white--get a can of white spray paint while you are at Lowes.
