i started an realized hey this is going to take forever haha i guess ill go back out to the garage and finish it after i do this homework
think it would look good black tho with the rims?

 

Did you use gloss black Rustoleum (sp?) spray paint?

 

ya it will look great. it doesn't take long at all

 

yes thats what i used

 

It looks good, but I'd guess it will probably chip and flake quickly and easily.

 

did you paint the inside as well? i just got the top and sides sanded down now i just got to do the front, back and bottom

I was thinking the same thing? mabye not though..

 

no i didn't do the inside. im not sure about the chipping alot of ppl on TRS have done it and said they haven't had any problems out of theirs chipping easy

 

That's what I want to do to the one in my Ranger.

 

just sanded it and taped it all up didnt take long at all. how many cans of paint did you use to so i know how much to buy? i think its going to look a hell of alot better. if not, it was a waist of 10 bucks big deal :)

 

i used 3 cans

 

nice, i might do the inside too but i'll see how it looks on the outside first. good little project

 

ya it takes a couple of coats

 

yeah ill get 3 cans too i hope this comes out good!

 

im sure it will

 

I might do mine. what about using some stripper to get the chrome off? as well as sanding. what about the use of adhesion promoter also?

 

idk about all that but do it and lets see how it looks

 

soon everybody will be painting there toolboxes black.
hahaha

 

I bot a toolbox today, if it fits I am going to paint it black. I might just paint it black even if it doesn't fit. When you painted your did you take the lid off or paint it all together? Thanks for answering all of our questions.

 

i keep the lid on i painted the bottom first. let it dry good. then i flipped it over and painted it. i opened it when i was painting the top.

 

just painted mine up, ill get some pics up in about an hour when i finish the bottom, i only used 2 cans since i didnt have enough cash on me at the time, did 2 real thick coats all over looks good.

 

heres mine all done not mounted though prolly not mounting it till i mount up my new rims and tires because it doesn't flow good with the stock pos rims and current tires. here she is






dont know if it looks good or not, what will make it look good will be the new rims, tires and 3 inch bl.

 

when i painted mine i just painted what you can see when it sits in the truck. Mine isnt painted very well you can still see some parts that need touch up but i like it.

looks good 94 2.3 was my inspiration but i painted the whole thing.

 

i kinda want to do the inside now but i dunno not running the box in the truck till i get my body lift put on anyways

 

the only reason i didn't bc it is pointless i keep alot in my toolbox. and it will just get messed up
