Default Tool box

I just got a chrome tool box for a really good deal. What would be the best way to make it black? Canned bed liner, spray paint....? Don't really know where to start. Anything is appreciated.

With my experiences, roll on bed liner if not done exactly right will chip,peel, and scratch off easily. And if done right just not as durable as I would like. I would have it sprayed professionally. Or paint it. A bed linered box would look pretty good though.

Get it sprayed with bed liner, it looks good, and lasts, but don't use the spray cans, they suck, oh, it's not a chrome box, it's polished aluminum, js, lol

yea it should be pretty cheap to get a bedliner place to spray it for you since it isnt very big.

its better to spend the extra money on it the first time then redo it again because if doesnt last.

deff ask a bunch of places then find the lowest price quote then call the other higher companies and see if they will beat the lowest price. best way to get stuff done cheaper.
