Default To all of you who told me....

"You should paint your toolbox like your wheels, it'll look great". You should be beaten with your own keyboards, this has turned out to be the project from hell. 2 hrs in and I haven't sanded down an 1/8 of this fucking thing!

Not blaming anyone just talking some shit. I'm using a sand blaster which works great in very small increments. If I had a better compressor I'd be getting somewhere.

lol you'd go from running out of air pressure to running out of sand in the hopper every 5 minutes

it does work DAMN good for sandblasting though, i did a 6 yard dump body with it in about 3 hours.

I called the line-x guy out this way and he wanted $150 bucks! It's a small box so that's probably not gonna happen. Guess I better clear my schedule this weekend

honestly i would suggest using a wire wheel on an electric grinder, i did an old dimond plate aluminum underbody box at work like that that was huge and in horrible condition, had it done it about 2 hours. a good powerwash & degeasing and it was ready for paint.
