I'm changing up the color of my Craftsman rolling cart. I've already rolled on a few coats of gloss black rustoleum on the body. Now I need to paint the insides of the drawers... I need something that is going to be fairly durable. :headscrat

I'm going to put a drawer liner in the bottom mostly concerned about vertical surfaces. Also looking for a good, thin drawer liner that won't bunch up or roll back up...

I had thought about Plastidip but worried about it peeling off. Then I had thought about doing light coats of semigloss black putting it on really dry. That always seemed to be a ***** to clean off when done accidentally.

I'll be using these drawers mostly for tools in cases or plastic bodied electric tools: sanders, drills, Dremel stuff...

I wont be throwing hammers or wrenches into it.

Looking for either a spray or roll on option. It doesn't have to be perfect, and I really dont want to open the drawers of a black box to red drawer insides.

Thanks in advance! :badteeth:

I sprayed the top three skinny drawers and it took the whole can of 3M 08881 undercoat. Came out flat black and slightly rubbery when dry... not sticky. I'm happy.

*EDIT* These pictures were taken right after painting so the coating wasn't dry. This morning they were all a uniform flat black.
