I'm refinishing an old Snap-On tool chest and looking for a durable color match for the original red enamel that they used. I can't find this paint listed in the Sanp-On web site. Rattle cans would be OK.

Thanks.

Typically those paints were baked on enamel. Now days they are all powder coated, but I know from experience that you can use some good old fashion rattle can "farm implement" or Rustoleum or Krylon paint that you can pick up at any wal-mart. They are very durable and come in almost every color you could want.
Hope this helps, by the way, if you are spraying over old paint you may run into paint reactions (bubbling and such).
Good luck.

Hi ,
Thanks for the tip. I've found that Rustoleum's "Hard Hat" line of industrial enamels has a very close match. The toolbox in question is a KRA58 type that was made (judging from the drawer pulls and name plate) in the early 1970's. The color is a bit differant from newer models. One more thing: Can anyone describe the tool used and procedure to remove the drawers?
Thanks.

Russ: Just insert a thumb on each side of your waist and pull 'em down! Ted

.010 shim stock about 3/8" wide and 6" long with one end curled in about 1/8" and 1" from the end. Pull drawer 1/2 way out and slip shim in each side. Drawer will slide right out. Just did it the other day.

Thanks guys.
Uhhh, Ted............So now I'm standing here in the shop with the toolbox in front of me and my pants down around my ankles.....but the damn drawers still won't come out!

Russ,
Was heading for lunch........thank's you saved me 1500 calories and clean-up time.
Be sure to post something gross shortsley before dinner.......maybe I can shuck off this extra 20#.

O-Kayyy! Tom, that one affected me the same way! I may not even eat dinner! If this keeps up, I WILL fit into the Sprint for TBO ! Ted
