Sweet! I like finding and professionally restoring old tool boxes that hold vintage power tools. When I find the matching tools I restore them and sell the ones I don't keep for my collection at a decent profit.
Wet sanding the primer makes a very smooth finish. Rattle can pain works best if you start the spray off the item, move all the way across and end the spray off the other side. Repeat.
Always go with the clearcoat of the same brand paint you used imo. Some clear coats cannot be applied over some paint without problems. Or at least of the same “ingredients”, you don’t necessarily want to be putting a lacquer or an oil based clearcoat over a different type of paint.
@@kpusa3278 Preservation is the point. I think it's worth much more, now that it's ready for another 40 years of service. I understand the value of vintage - but they don't make metal tool boxes today, like they once did. The market for a stout original that's refurbished is greater in my opinion. A tool box that's not being used, is a waste of space.
@@kpusa3278 It wouldn't be very good for business to steal a customer's tool box and sell it off. Better for business to make happy customer, even if there is a youtuber out there who might get butt-hurt.
Great job! I watched this twice last night. I've never tried anything like this before, but I think I'd like to give it a try. Are the smells from the cans really bad? What kind of mask did you have, if any? Thank you again!
Hey Kid! NEVER use a steel scraper knife on soft sheet metal. Always use plastic plastic ones. You applied too much paint too fast. Be patient and take your time. It looks good enough though when you got finished with it. 😏
Hello, I know you mentioned a plastic scraper knife, but I'm not sure I'm seeing what you're talking about online. I see some things, but I'm completely sure. About how much are they? You also mentioned that he applied the paint too fast. How should it be done please? I'm asking because I'm not a tool guy, but I'd like to try something like this. Thank you!!
Awesome! Very satisfying watching you perfectly restore a classic tool box. I gonna go paint mine now.

Love the project. You have "SKILL"
came out good, thanks for sharing
How did you get the stencil?
Good job. I use lighter coats of paint.
Thanks! I actually did multiple light coats. The editing just made it look like I put it on really heavy lol
Good restoration tool box
what was used to eat the paint away?
Nice job! Anyone know of a quality heavy duty clear finish that could be applied after a restoration?

Nice work! #SKIL
Good job on the exterior but what about the interior?
k3bravo thanks! And the video would have been twice as long so I just decided to post the outside.
Can't believe you destroyed such a great tool box you probably could have sold that box as is for $500 easy but instead you destroyed an antique

Sorry but this is not a toolbox - it’s a case to protect some form of a Skill saw. Nonetheless, nice job of cleaning it up and repainting it.
What’s another word for saw? Tool? Maybe 🤔
