Our old neighborhood mailboxes (2008) had a coating that when stickers were removed it took off sections of the coating. It was grey and when you removed stickers it came off in sections leaving a zebra pattern. We were so embarrassed when we removed the sticker put on our mailbox by someone else, removing sections of the coating, making our box look awful. Since the sticker was clear, with yellow, the grey that came off was definitely from the box.

2010 Notes were put in mailboxes property of USPS, that stickers were being removed and refinished. No stickers were allowed.

So to those who are newer the very old boxes are definitely different then what is being used by USPS today
