Talking Check out my NEW toolbox!

Got this toolbox for my truck bed from Atwoods (if anyone even knows that place), about a month ago. Over that time I repainted it. The box used to be diamond plated silver and it wouldn't of looked that great. So I sanded it down just a little and got some spray paint. The paint I used was the knock off bed liner stuff. Didn't really care for it but it worked (for the most part). It took 5(!) cans of spray paint to do the trick. Then I put 4 self-taping screws in, to make sure it stays down. Pretty gay, I know. As you also see it is kinda small (no "that's what she said" jokes). I wanted to still have a lot of room after the toolbox was in, that's why I choose it. So tell me what ya think?

Toolbox in bed, but not screwed in yet. Also with tape over badge & handle.

Complete!

Decided not to spray the inside.


These were the back two screws that already had holes in the toolbox (so I needed washers).

Front two screws that I decided to put in because the back two weren't enough.


By the way, if you saw scratches on the inside it's cause I was going to paint it but decided not to.

Looks just like my trailer tool box. Fites the tongue of my trailer perfectly, thats why the ends are tapered so it doesn overhang and you can still make full turns.
