My cheap mailbox plan backfired hard last Saturday

I was trying to save $40 by painting my old rusty mailbox instead of buying a new one from Lowes. Used some spray paint I had sitting in the garage and it dripped all down the front, looking like a mess. Then a big gust of wind blew it off the post and it landed in a puddle, ruining the whole thing. Now I'm out the paint and still need a new mailbox, anyone got a recommendation for one under $30 that won't rust or look cheap?

Heard a guy at the hardware store say the cheap plastic ones crack just as fast.

Agreed with @faitha40 - plastic ones warp in the summer sun too.
