I cut out some 6" high aluminum numbers for my mailbox as I wanted something that would last. I covered the outside of each number with 3M Scotchlite Silver Reflective Tape.
Now I can see those numbers at night when I drive up from a long ways away just like a road sign.
I live on a country road with huge trees on each side, it is like driving into a tree tunnel and at night it is hard to see my drive way entrance.
Put up a new mail box, a huge one and wanted big easy to see numbers so it would be a kind of landmark and easy to see.
Everybody speeds up and down my road so you gotta come in hot at around 60 then hope another driver is not on your rear, so when you put on the blinkers and hit the brakes you got some one a few ft from your rear bumper. It is like running a NASCAR race then full braking and hard left turn without getting rear ended.
Now judging my braking point and exact turn in is so much more easy because I can see the huge mail box and huge numbers from over a hundred ft up the road, even at night.

3M Scotchlite Reflective Tape
3M Scotchlite Reflective Tape offers enhanced nighttime reflective brightness to help you see objects better in the darkness. A pressure-sensitive 3M adhesive makes applying the tape easy and it creates a secure bond to most surfaces.
Details:
- Tape may be used wherever low light or night-time light reflectivity is needed to increase visibility
- Versatile tape works on a variety of substrates on automobiles, trailers, driveways, mailboxes, RVs, watercraft and bicycles
- Pressure-sensitive adhesive adheres to clean, smooth surfaces such as metal, glass, smooth wood or painted surfaces
- Conformability allows for use on most contoured and curved surfaces
- Adhesive bonds well in exterior applications
Bright and Vivid Reflection at Night
When the darkness of night obscures vision, 3M Scotchlite Reflective Tape can help people spot what is important to see. When you shine light on it, the light reflects back toward the source of the light, immediately alerting people to objects up ahead. It's advisable to place tape at a height where headlights will shine on it.
Help Alert Drivers to the Presence of Objects
This tape is commonly used to alert drivers about stationary objects such as fences, posts, walls, rails, mailboxes and poles. 3M also advises applying this tape to parked trailers, campers, RVs, boats and tractors.
Increase Visibility for People, Too
Reflective tape is also good to apply to clothing, bikes and helmets used in low light conditions. 3M recommends using the tape on both bike and motorcycle helmets. A seasonal use for 3M Scotchlite Reflective Tape is to apply to Halloween costumes. This tape will often help make you more visible to drivers in the dark. The tape conforms and adheres well over curves and contours.

I know some of the other reviews mention that the tape does not stretch well, but this was not my experience at all. I was able to get a perfectly smooth application stretched over a very curved surface. In this case, I started from the front and stretched and smoothed so that the tape adhered flat to the surface of the part.
Just be aware that if you stretch or pull the tape up after it is stuck down, it may cause some dark lines or marks in the reflective layer that are visible when you shine light. Just go slow and be careful to leave the tape stuck once it is down.
Easy To Stretch Over Curved Parts/Surfaces
Reviewed in the United States on November 13, 2020
I applied this retro-reflective tape to improve the visibility of my motorcycle at night. I have previously used this tape in silver, blue, and black (reflects white) on bicycles and really liked it. As you can see from the photo, the silver tape blends in well with the silver metallic paint on the bike, and reflects nicely when the camera flash is used (the actual color of the reflection is white, but the flash picks it up as a yellow hue).Reviewed in the United States on November 13, 2020
