I noticed that. Had to try.

Sorry to dig up such an old post. PM sent...

Vinyl wrap material. Like mentioned.

Anyone happen to know what vinyl color matches DeWalt yellow best? I prefer Oracle 651, but for this project I don't have to be brand specific. Playing with the idea of color matching some tool & storage cabinets. I'm not interested in paint, as I want to be able to easily remove it shall I...

That red has a good, rich tone to it. Very nice. I don't see any brush or foam strokes at all from the pics. I'd say job well done.

I need to see a few more clearer pics with better lighting, but I'm pretty sure I know what to do. The knob will have a push release in between the knob and the trim plate against the door. Push in on the release and pull the knob. It also could be the old style that has a "slide" under the...

Done. 😎

I'd like some more context of what you're restoring/building. More pics?

Finally came up with a way to paint the two-tone badges. Step 1: clean with paint thinner. Step 2: spray with a gloss white paint. Let cure. Step 3: here's the hard part.... Tightly staple an old, plain white t-shirt to a board, then use a painting sponge to lightly soak the shirt in paint...

More progress. Down to just soaking the handles in EvapoRust, and badges, which are close to being done. New locking casters on all 4 corners. Hated not being able to slide it into a space between other cabinets. Now it'll do donuts! 🤘😎🤘 How many 48 yr olds look this good? 😂

This will always just be a hobby at best. I own/operate two businesses...a mobile locksmith business, servicing commercial, residential, and automotive. And I also run an auto and mechanical shop, focusing mostly on light duty repairs, brakes, chassis coatings (Woolwax & Fluid Film), suspension...

You guys are giving me way too much credit. I'm no professional painter, but I have watched enough to get some paint sprayed on some metal boxes. One day, maybe ONE day I'll grow the courage to paint a hood or fender. Right now I'm just figuring it out as I go. My uncle was an automotive...

I sprayed the boxes with an automotive paint gun, used thinner and Japan Drier mixed in the paint, and layed on 2 coats of primer and 2 coats of red, with sanding in between. The drawers have the first coat of grey on them now and will get a light sanding and a second coat in a day or two. I've...

Well I've decided to settle on a grey to use for my tool box restorations. Close enough for me, and readily available. Behr oil base enamel - Dark Secret PPU 26-23A

From my understanding the Craftsman Commercial series was only for a couple of years. The Super Duty came before it, and the Sears Best Pro series came after it and run up through the mid 80's. I'd venture to say it's a '75-'77.
