Not our usual makeover fare to be featured here on Curbly, but what a makeover it is! John (last name ‘Park’) spotted this grody old Park Manufacturing Co. toolbox at a local flea market and was smitten. He took it home and gave it the makeover lover once-over. Check it out now….
If you’d like to refurbish a toolbox yourself, here’s what John used to get the job done:
- Dremel Multi-Max or other oscillating tool/sander with sander attachment, and sanding pads.
- Dremel Rotary Tool and wire wheel. You could use sandpaper and wire brushes instead if needed.
- Shop cloths or old t-shirts
- Masking tape
- Primer
- Ruste preventative enamel spray paint
- Spray truck liner
- Safety goggles
- Dust Mask
- Goggles
