The restoration of the tackle box was completed yesterday. Delays have been waiting on metal work coming from overseas and work commitments. Anyway, below are the pics, I struggled to find a paint finish I liked but in the end used black garage floor paint which has given the box a lovely smooth satin finish which is also durable. In fact it's so nice I wish I'd painted the inside with it now! Oh well. Maybe next time. Catches and corners are all antique brass finish. Can't wait to take it out fishing now.
