No idea, but would Plastidip be an option? [maybe the individual pieces are too large?]

Personally, I wouldn't use powder coat, a toolbox will always get chipped & once that happens it always seems to peel off. I don't know what I would use though, 2 pack maybe.
That's some really good kit there, I was always told that old Britool was the best you could get. I've still got various AF spanners that I bought at my first job from leaving school. Unfortunately the common sizes have long since gone walkabout, only the bigger ones left now.

Let me know whats missing and we can keep an eye out as we see loads of random Britool spanners on our travels.

Ref. Post 7538 Page 377.
Most of this week I have bean away from home, 3 hotels in 5 days.
So not much time to play in play pen. Just dull work and annoying humans, called site customers.
So I picked up some assorted sandpaper, a cheep dust sheet.
That is the 2 hammers cleaned up, the keen eyes will spot they are on my bench at home. The Cross pein needs a bit of love, in the shape of a new head wedge.
I also had some time on the screwdrivers.
That's the 4 handles steeping in bee's wax and linseed oil. Not a wise thing to do in a hotel room.

This leaf blower was given to me, I had no use for it. So I donated it.
Getting home tonight, it came back to me, with a note.
"Hi TYA, this was being used today and it packed up, can you fix it or get another one. Dan G"
I have replied to him
No, I can not get a new one.
No it can not be fixed.
It has not bean used, it was abused.
TYA.
I have had a good look. Wrong fuel mix, air filter has bean removed and a smaller tube fitted.
I also found out that the "user" was using fuel from his 2 strokes and had fitted a "Better Nozzle".
He took it on himself to blow into a pile the wood shavings from were the council had cut and shredded the bushes on out allotment.
Thus a good machined rendered useless.
It doesn't turn over, so I will strip to see if I could repair it.
Rant over.
Beer open.
Curry on the way.

I am sure some hotel rooms will have seen much worse.
Still busy gathering bits and pieces for the business. Just acquired a Migmate MIG welder. Bit ropey but all working. I'll replace gas hose and earth clamp, clean up and repaint case and it should be nice. Even got a VERY home made trolley which I may be able to do something with thrown in. Snip at NZ$140.
