Is that an option? Now I want it. Especially if you can get the logo on the side.

I don't know, for some reason i had the idea the op was thinking about repainting an existing tool box rather than ordering a new one, I'm thinking about yellow for my Britool box when i finally get round to welding it back together!

If I were ordering one (fat chance of that!) I would be hard pressed to choose between extreme green or midnight blue.

Scare the Yanks to death, and tell them how much that box is in the U.K...:scared:

And don't forget the 20% VAT....

I really like the white with black trim. Mine is royal blue with chrome trim. If I had to do it over again, I would have a hard time deciding between the white/black combo or doing a blue with black trim combo.

Actually black is the hardest to keep clean with flat black being the absolute worst. Everyone thinks grease smudges, nobody takes into account the much more common aerial dust and dirt. You need to constantly wipe and dust a dark color box. Yellow, orange, white, etc... you don't notice it.

Light colors also hide scratches far better.

Don't get the traditional red with the Epiq; they look terrible in traditional red. Get the candy apple red if you're going to get red. However, the best looking colors for the Epiq is white with silver trim or blue with silver trim.

I went black when I got mine but I like the midnight blue and the white/black trim combo too. I stayed away from the blue at the time because I was concerned about the availablilty of add ons in the future (cabinets, overheads, lockers, etc).

if you think you'll ever sell it and get a different one red or black might be the best choice?

Get one in Sierra ice like mine. It's like a blond silver. Rare color not even listed among color options but available for the Epiq.
What's funny is even the Mac tool rep says he thinks that's the best looking box he's seen.

Mine is royal blue but if I upgrade to a bit bigger one I may get the arctic silver and black or white with black

Just remember...wild colors like green, orange and yellows etc get old after some time and a lot of people get sick of the wild colors with time and they are harder to sell
