    Default Repainting a toolbox ?

    Ive got a MAC macsimizer 1350 thats red.. Ive always hated red toolboxes but I got a stupid smoking good deal from my father in law so i couldnt pass it up.. anywho that was 4 yrs ago, The wonder folks at the Roush Ind. bldg 9 shipping dept moved it to livonia and fucked that thing like it was a redheaded stepsister.. its been missing paint for some years now and I have a color combo in my head id like to see on something.. would the box need to be blasted or just scuffed the bare metal areas repaired and smoothed ?? I dont do body work but i know enough people that could get it done.. Im upgrading to a snap on KRl 1033 so this will be my home box now and thought it would look cool with a custom paint job

    Scuff and shoot
    To me, it's a good idea to always carry two sacks of something when you walk around. That way, if anybody says, "Hey, can you give me a hand?" You can say, "Sorry, got these sacks."

    I work at B9 and have moved a few boxes. This is the exact reason I always makes guys strap down their own boxes. If you want something done right...

    When mine was getting moved a lot I would take pics. They bought a lot of new boxes

    problem was i was working in livonia.. and couldnt be there to strap it down.. i moved it back in my pickup it was sketchy but still safer than that hack that didnt bother to pull a Fucking chain off the wall of the truck before strapping the box against the wall.. I asked the all might Kane about it and he just blew me off.. Kane and Borg are what's wrong with that bldg.. Im sorry you still work there..
