The paint is Rustolium ToolBox silver I removed all the Rust with Drumels Brush, Drill wire Brush. Covered the coils with toilet paper rolls (cut down the side fitted with tape) so they would not be damaged. The covers and shields have the Metal paint Rustolium. You can see how bad it was rusted. A mouse family used it as a bathroom for a few years. They now have many spotted paint colors. : Red, black, Green tool box
