Anybody PTM toolboxes anymore?

I have pulled my toolbox to take it in and have a reinforcing plate welded into the top of the toolbox. Rather than simply painting the thing white again I was thinking about PTM, or possibly even painting it a contrasting color, to go with my planned 2 tone scheme. Is anyone doing this still? I know it WAS popular back in the '90s, but haven't seen one done that way in a while...

Mine is white, which I hate, and the original paint from Delta is now rusting up something fierce. I want to correct this. Heck, I'm not even opposed to using that DIY Bedliner stuff to redo this thing... I just want to stop the rusting, and make it look decent, and take some abuse...

I spayed mine with duplicolor truck bed liner. It looked great for 6 months, then faded and is starting to peel now after about a year. Im going to strip it down,use primer this time,and a clear coat over the top to keep it looking nice. Or I might just go get it powdercoated.

Mine's getting stripped down, and primed first. It needs it pretty badly...

Why couldn't it be powder coated for a more durable finish, they can do it in virtually any color you want. Just a thought.

Know anyone locally that does powder coating on something that big for a reasonable price?
