Quick and dirty small Snap-on box restoration

[Nader]

I bought a small Snap-on box for my 1/4" tools. Was covered in surface rust, which I blasted with my HF spot blaster using the kids' sandbox sand, which I think might be from Puget Sound.

Tried multiple rattle can reds. Matched up to a novelty Snap-on mini-box I have. End result is that Krylon's "Gloss Classic Red" is a pretty good match.

Looks great. O love those little 255’s and 275’s.

One more thing. The reason I had so many reds in the first place, was because I was originally trying to match my '76 Toyota FJ40's "Freeborn Red" when I was welding in a patch panel. Then decided to do a "quick and dirty" to the rusty body. Guess which red was closest? That's right! Krylon's "Gloss Classic Red." It's the red paint for all vintage projects!

Nice job Nader! I love those older metal cases sockets used to come in.

It is good to know that classic red matches so many things.

Nice FJ.
I understand that there is a place in Denver that has a LOT of FJ’s either for parts or completely rebuilt.

As an FYI avoid blasting with play sand at any time. It can be dangerous to breathe the dust made by it due to the silica content. Black Diamond is cheap and works well

Absolutely love the old "tool tins". I'm planning on getting a small metal brake to remake make the socket trays. Good job!
