Thanks guys

Here is the updated pics with the new Matco Emblem

Thanks guys! I'll be updating in the next couple weeks.

Almost done, just gotta throw some glaze on it and put the new Matco badge and handle.

Small update. Installed the chrome handles on a few finished boxes.

Thanks! I didn't think it was going to be this much work either :eyecrazy: It'll pay off though (I hope)

Thanks!! The inside where there is limited room I just raised the pressure on the gun and it provided enough coverage. The finish is a lil rougher (mainly from overspray) but it will polish up nice after the wetsand.

Thanks!

Fully built 06wrx wrb :beer:

Garfunkle good to see another suby owner on the forum.

Here are a few pics of the powdercoated handle and re-chromed end pieces.

Here are a couple pictures of the re-chromed handles and the new badge.

No doubt. It feels like the amount of work it took, I could of painted my car and my patio deck and have time left over to drink some brews. I still have 20 drawers to paint, they're all prepped.

It's called royal blue. It's a snapon paint code. Here is a pic of the gallon and a pic of the mixing thingy. *edit* pics aren't working

The only part I powdercoated was the handle to pull the box. I bought ppg delfleet polyurethane single stage paint. The main box structure took 1 gallon to complete. For primer I used epoxy primer about a half gallon (brand slips my mind). Prep was done with 600 sandpaper bought at harbor...

Thanks!!!

Yeah the original color was in bad shape and the person that had it before me did not take good care of it. The boxes were scratched pretty bad, the color did not shine anymore, and the gold trim looked outdated. I love undertaking these types of projects and I have never painted in my life, so...

Cost=lots and lots of blood sweat and tears. I rather not attempt to add up the cost or else I'll probably cry. But like I tell the gf, ''I have no addictions to drugs,gambling,etc... except for tools and cars'' Luckily she's ok with it and doesn't *****, so in that form I'm blessed :rocker:

More updates. Working on color sanding the main box structure. Here are some progress pictures. Let me know what you guys think.
