Painted Tool Box

I got tired of everything else on the truck being black ad having a chrome tool box so over the weekend I decided I would paint it black to match. Tell me what ya think. Like or hate?

 

Looks good, how'd you do it?

 

Well I got some steel wools at O'Reilly and really spent some time roughing the surface. I also got a can of adhesion promoter from O'Reilly and sprayed on after I roughed and cleaned the surface. I then applied a can of primer and then 3 layers of Kyrlon Satin black paint.

 

Krylon instead of Kyrlon.

 

nice looks good

 

Thanks man.

 

I would like to know how long it will last. Most of the painted tool boxes I've seen start to chip before long. I've thought about having mine powder coated.

 

Hmm I don't know I'm hoping it will last a while.

 

Hmm, I bought a black toolbox just like that from tractor supply but mine wouldn't fit behind the wheel wells?

 

Well everyone else's wouldn't either. I have no idea why mine does.
