Tool box restoration project

[JC600]

My tool box has got a little worse for wear being in my van. So have put a set of draws in the van. 

The tool box will be used in the garage for now on.

Wasn't looking the best.

Removed stickers, handles, lock and badges......and then removed all the rust, a lot more than I thought. 

Then, filled badge holes, etch primered the bare metal, and filler primered the bare metal parts.

Next, I'll sand it down to blend it in, and primer the hole box and draw fronts.

New foam liner arrived.

Sanded down filler, primered and sanded and primered drawers. Ready for a quick flat before paint.

Dents in the draws are to hold chrome trim on.......I'll have to polish them up too. :)

Decided to do the draw trims with some truck bed liner paint I had. Love the finish of this stuff. :)

Painted a black base coat on the box, then a couple of coats of alloy wheel silver, and just a light coating on lacquer......as I wanted a industrial sort of look. Came out ok, I think lol. :)

Got some stickers to go on yet when the paint has hardened.

That's looking good
