This is what it looked like before, after washing it.

Rusty boi

Was gonna spray it black... but ran out of black spray paint... The inside is black though. I masked the handle and locking mechanism so that’s why there’s that original gray that didn’t get through near the top.

The inside

With the little compartment installed

One of my favorite things about my computer backpack is that the inside is ORANGE. It’s not my favorite color, but it sure helps me see what’s hiding inside. I can’t help but wonder if painting the inside of my toolboxes orange would achieve the same effect.

I like your photo credits.

When Kinja harangues me about my photo heavy posts for every photo missing a credit, I just about lose it.

Nicely done!

I had a similar metal toolbox that was the old Craftsman grey I picked up at a flea market that was full of wrenches.  It got stolen out of my truck one day though.

What if the tools are orange too?

What? You don’t sort your tools by color? The orange ones belong in the black toolbox, obviously. A green toolbox will do in a pinch.

Sheesh, some people.
