I've watched quite a few videos about toolbox restoration, but this was the most enjoyable. Thanks for keeping it concise, educational, and fun. Subscribed 👋

[@JONSDIY]

Thanks Matt. Appreciate the feedback.

Thanks! Found marketplace toolbox $15 that’s dirty and little paint chip. Originally red so will have to paint everything black to match my other table but you pointed me to the right direction. Sand, clean, primer, paint. Guess I would do little extra and put 2k clear over it

[@davidfurst7233]

Amazing that you spray painted so close to your cars.

[@JONSDIY]

Optical illusion they are further than you think

[@MakersStudioFAY]

Great work, we have a lot of people at our Makers Space that refurbish tools and tool boxes. I will be sharing your video on our Facebook page!

[@ToolsandTime]

Wow nice job on that toolbox! Love the wood top that you added and the cool epoxy catchphrase.

[@Paul_Lane]

Pretty cool restoration. I like the carves catchphrase on top.

[@goonlops2118]

Excellent job

[@harrigro]

Very nice! Thanks

Did you have to buy a new lock and key? I need a new set for my tool box just like this one you refinished. Do you know where I could buy a new lock and key

[@JONSDIY]

No, the drive home un-jarred the locking mechanism. I lucked out. You can get them at Home depot. Look for mail box locks.

I plan to do the same work this weekend, BUT away from my cars and landscape. I found the same chest tool box used for a quarter of the price, it's all rusted on the top and bottom. Question, What kind of paint you used for the red color And what was the exact color name?

[@JONSDIY]

Rust-oleum Professional High Performance Enamel. If holding the can, the name can be found on the back on the bar code. "SAFETY RED" amzn.to/3SSXEU0 pretty sure I put all of them in description of video.

[@Jsmitt716]

I have a brand new one that I bought for my wife. She wants it painted a different color. Should I sand down the brand new paint or just primer right over it?

[@JONSDIY]

No do not sand. Prime and paint. The new paint should be very smooth over the original paint sanding might cause abrasions that will show up in your paint job.

[@bstory3196]

I added the CRAFTSMAN logo back on when I was done

[@JONSDIY]

And if you listen closely, I broke mine while taking it off.

[@kevinvalencia9572]

Where do you get them?

[@JONSDIY]

@@kevinvalencia9572 the tool box or the logo?

[@skulledmonte84]

Rust will come through that primer eventually....

[@hoobered1232]

very nice job. Love that wooden top. I'm searching for the most scratch resistant spray paint for my very old JC Penny tool box drawers.

[@herbholmberg4474]

Should have painted the bottom side instead of leaving it in primer. Other than that, looks great.

[@lowrads3653]

That is plain abuse of a finishing sander. Using the edges like that will melt hook and loop fasteners. Use a normal quarter sheet sander if you want to do a lot of gymnastics, or just get a flapwheel.

[@JONSDIY]

Everyone’s a critic.

[@lowrads3653]

Do whatever you want with your own tools, but you can't borrow mine. @@JONSDIY
