Paint Code for US General Toolbox

[nolimits76]

Picked up one of the 44" HF US General tool chests this weekend during the tent sale. This will suffice for now. Eventually I will add one more as my needs justify the expense.

Anyhow, as part of my garage re-model, I am using red in the paint scheme. Does anyone have a paint code for this box? I really like the color, and think it will work well with what I am doing.

Thanks!

Pull a drawer and match it with chips at the paint shop.

Even better..Pull a drawer and have any paint jobber use the "Color Eye" to determine exactly what it is. Pretty much guaranteed to get a good match that way.

No help on the paint code here, but I bought one too, and have a question -

There were 2 extra bolts in the handle hardware package - did yours have them and did you figure out what they were for?

I thought maybe to put in the holes on the side without the handle, but was not sure...

LOLZ.

I thought the same thing.

Pull smallest dwr. and take to any automotive paint shop/paint seller or local body shop if you are in good with them and they can color-eye match.

I have a buddy that owns and runs a body shop and see it done all the time.

Easy-peasy.

There was another thread about this in the 5 drawer cart discussion...

Hope that helps!

IF and that's a big IF, I ever paint my box (I have to care enough to actually do that), I'm thinking the retro craftsman theme...gray box with red drawers.

PPG lead base china red.

Rustoleum gloss cherry num 248568 matches the HF 44 gloss pretty close.

I bought this toolbox too! Great box! I lost the set of keys to the bottom drawer. How do I go about replacing it?
