old tool boxes

I was looking at the red drawer box and it seems to have some kind of overspray on it ,......so im thinking of going over it with some 1000 maybe 1500 grit and even if it takes a long time sand off that outer layer of whatever was sprayed on it and if I can get down to the red paint ....with a light grit like that I might be able to buff it back.

that's assuming the original paint was in decent shape before the overspray showed up ...I have reason to believe the original paint was in great shape ...but only one way to find out. lol
