Craftsman Tool Chest Restoration

[AkFan88]

Bought this 2 drawer top chest on Offerup this morning. It is a nice chest but I want to repaint it. I was looking at a silver Hammered Rustoleum spray paint for the silver. Are there better options for the spray paint for the red drawers and the silver chest?

There has been a lot of discussions among the Craftsman guys... a few that have been tried that look good (to my eye anyway)

Rustoleum Antique Pewter
Rustoluem Hammertone Gray
Rustoleum Regal Red
Rustoleum Sunrise Red

Looks really good. I think will use the same hammered gray.

I would go Regal Red on the drawers.

This is one I did over 25 years ago. Black gloss and I think Krylon red. It's seen light use and held up well.
