Salt Box paint

Hey guys,
I just found a few salt boxes. $60 each. They measure L31 W23 H32. They are grey, and I'm just wondering what sort of paint would I need to use to paint them, and to ensure the paint won't come off in the winter elements?
Also, is $60 ea. a good deal?

Thanks alot

Adam

here are the prices i just got for some snow ex boxes i was going to use for calcium at the shopping centers i do
#550...about 500 lbs ......299.00
#1100 .......399.00
#1800 about 1750 lbs......499.00
i didn't realize from the pics that the boxes were this big (and expensive, it's just plastic) so i'm going to make my own,

I noticed that you guys are looking at ordering some in bulk. I just noticed these on kijiji. Here's the link http://london.kijiji.ca/c-buy-and-se...AdIdZ164185427
I know that the companys I've worked for have used boxes from Forest City Plastics, and they worked great. I beleive they were custom ordered, but I'm not sure where they had the painting and decals done. They seemed pretty durable.

adam...these are plastic, correct? i originally thought they were metal and you wanted them painted..are you just wanting a custom look to the plastic? paint might not stick so well in a harsh environment.could the boxes have been "layed up" with the color in the palstic instead of painted?

Krylon fusion would work to paint them.
