I left my large Snap On roll cab in storage for a couple of years until I purchased my current workshop and living by the sea, it has sadly gone a rusty on the horizontal surfaces, however the vertical surfaces are still excellent. I’d like to smarten it up again with minimum effort (Don’t fancy a complete respray).
I did think that I could remove all the drawers and DA sand the vertical drawer tops down to bare metal to remove the surface rust, remove the chrome trim and then re-spray the drawer tops, leaving the drawer fronts untouched.
There is a PPG colour code for the SnapOn red however I don’t think that would help me in the UK - how should I go about getting the correct red from paint supplier?
photos below of the front of the toolbox looking quite smart still, then the rusty horizontal surfaces which let it down.
