    Anybody knows if you can get that paint somewhere, preferably in a can?

    I picked up an old tool box today at a garage sale (complete with an old Craftsman torque wrench and breaker bar inside) that's pretty scratched and has a little surface rust, but I'm pretty sure it'll clean up well, but I'd have to repaint it.

    Its called hammer finish, or something like that.....hammertight.....hammered...I dunno, but I'll wager somebody else here knows and has a link.

    Hammerite...

    And it's getting expensive in colours other than silver.

    Sometimes life leaves a hundred dollar bill on your dresser, and you don't realize until later that it's because it screwed you.

    I used the rustoleum hammerfinish and it was pretty good for the price.
