Question Tool box question???

Anybody ever applied that paint on bed liner stuff on the inside of a tool box. My took box is a Delta aluminum chrome diamond plate. I get black stuff on anything I put in the tool box from the aluminum. I like to keep an extra jacket and stuff like that but you have to keep it in a plastic bag to keep it clean.

Would painting on the bedliner stuff on the bottom and sides of the interior stop this?

Would it stick and not peel off?

Would it also keep stuff from sliding around in there?

Thoughts or opinions appreciated.

Hi! I'm not familiar with the surface inside the tool box - is it smooth? If so, what about those "peel & stick" carpet squares? I believe they come in an indoor/outdoor grade, they'd help keep things from sliding or getting scuffed & you can color coordinate to the truck! Plus, it may be less expensive & easier to apply.
The only other idea I have is contact paper but that may tear if you have anything sharp in there. Or, you could get 1 of those big, plastic containers - like a larger sized Tupperware box or shoe box & store the jacket in that.
Hope this helps!

It should be no different in the box than in the bed. If I could offer another suggestion...

instead of the bedliner stuff (its very toxic) go to a home building center and buy liquid rubber sealant. The type of stuff you would use for sealing concrete walls in your basement. It is non-toxic to the point that you can eat off it once dry. And like the bedliner stuff, you can apply it as thick as you need. It also comes in various degrees of viscosity.

I only suggest the non-toxic stuff as you will have clothing in there (and any groceries)

Good idea!

I never stopped to think of the toxicity issue J150 - good call! I'm glad some of us know more than I do! Okay - MOST of these guys know more than I do! LOL! Don't say I said that - I'd deny it!

Call Line-X and see how much they would charge you to spray it?
