I hope I posted this in correct section...its not a toolbox but...im gonna sorta use it like one...sorta ;)
So I found this 27 drawer file Cab on CL for $30...
Gonna use it for odds and ends in the garage.
I forgot to take a BEFORE pic in this project, but the prig paint job was covered up with a BAD OLD off white roller paint job.

1st thing I realized when doing prep was WOW thats a LOT of drawers!

Anyway, here she is. I used FORD Blue and a lighter blue for the drawers.

Looks good man. I'm sure it was a lot of work but it will be worth it in the long run.

Love the two-tone blue color scheme.
Do you have a mounting idea going??? If it were mine, I'd be mounting it on a 2 foot high base, just so as not to kill my back reaching for the lower drawers.

Looks real nice. You must have a very colorful workshop :beer:

What are the dimensions on that? Looks pretty heavy duty and useful. Does it have drawer slides or just slide on the bottom of the drawer?

I see the paint can back there but it looks pro. Nice work!

The photo's are so close that when I scroll them up and down it looks 3D!

Mmmmmmmm....3-D....

Looks great! Do you have any pictures of the painting procedure and set up? Like what's I'd the best way to hold the drawers while painting them, or do you paint the bottoms of the boxes?? Very impressive!
