Hello everyone everywhere.
Ever driven down the road and seen a battered and bruised cargo container and thought, "How'd they end up doing that"? ( do punctuation on on the outside or inside of that quote?)
If you've ever driven into a parking garage in anything bigger than a Mazda Miata you've probably said to yourself, "Damn it smells like urine up in here." and , "Damn the ceiling height is pretty tight here".
And there you have it. Likely the cause of most cargo or rack accessory smashes is the parking garage failure routine.
I lazily but somewhat effectively captured me refurbishing this black Thule rack. I edited the video prior to putting in work on this new white one I received in a huge Craigslist Thule Yakima lot. I paid $450 (talked down from $550) for this cargo box, and so much more. I did drive 6 hours round trip but I just cranked the tunes and took to daydreaming about all the adventures I was about to have.
I think i might put out a video on the Craigslist score and how i cleaned everything up and sold it. And, the big question is, "Did i come out ahead and by how much?". ( i might need a course in sentence structure). Well, I don't have the answers yet on the score potential, because I'm just about to dump the images up on Craigslist and eBay so I can then site and wait for all this stuff to go away and all the money to come my way.
I apologize for not getting great post work images as I was in a hurry to get things done and didn't know if I'd even get around to making this video. I appreciate everyone's comments, likes, dislikes (though i like these less than like), and whatever other form of support anyone can offer. Have fun.

Did you happen to make a video? I need to fix a box myself but I'm not sure how to go about doing it or the materials that I need, any chance you could briefly go over it😉

I thought the same of his video he didn't even go over the repair part of the video which going by what you've stated would have been useless anyway

You can prevent paint bleeding by taping the object en spray it with the color you are covering. This way the bleeding will be the same color as the covered color. Wait a bit till its a bit dry and spray it over with the desired color. And presto no visible paint bleeding!

Is that what it was? restorative, I thought he was making a sculpture out the side of the box even if it was I still wouldn't call it art lol

Hi from hi desert AZ. Regarding the Thule cargo box repaint vid. I'm going fire engine red to match rav4. From what I've researched I would need to do loads of sanding, then apply some topicals (the thinner to clean & HEAVY coats on the primer) I too had plans for Rusto w primer (the type that works on on plastic). The research from various sources says if its not done that way that large areas of peeling would quickly show up. Your vid makes sense to me but how did it hold up. Thanks again!

Ok guys, stop piling on Garth. I will give u steps to paint a cargo box with spray cans. 2 things first: 1. If you box needs repair, search RU-vid for "MammothMend", where its done right. 2. Best to use pro spray paint compressor for most smooth finish. My notes will cover canned spry paint. Don't cheat on cleaning first or the sanding. You'll ruin the project if either is not done. Steps for spray painting molded plastic cargo box: 1) hose down box with a good pressure hose & let dry in low humidity for a few days. Patience is the key. Let it dry naturally. 2. In a well ventilated area, where there is no flame or smoking, use paint thinner and a clean, lint free garage rag to clean all surfaces. Use gloves and goggles! 3. Using Rusto Fusion 2x primer, covers plastic, and spray the box using good spray painting technique. Apply 3 coats. 1st coat is just a light one pass coat. Allow to dry 1 hr. Then apply 2nd coat heavier by going slower while sweeping the can. Again allow to dry 1 hour. Do same on 3rd coat. It will take about a week to 10 days to set to a good base. Do what you need to avoid moisture while Fusion 2x primer sets. AGAIN, patience guys! 4. Using Rusto spray can Fusion 2x Clear Coat, paint over all primed areas. 1 or 2 coats will be fine. Again allow to set for 7 days. I know, but before you complain about clear over primer... 5. Using 1000 grit sandpaper (yes 1000, nothing coarser!), sand all of clear seal. Yes, it looks nasty, that citrus fruit skin thing...breathe! 6. Using tack cloth, NOT a rag, wipe the cargo box to clean up all remnants from sanding. 7. Ok...so far so good. Remember, PATIENCE! 8. Using Rusto Fusion 2x paint, in your choice of color, follow same directions as when you applied the Rusto Fusion 2x primer. Allow to dry 1 hr. The first coat will still leave a nasty lumpy surface. Apply 2nd coat heavier by sweeping slowly as you apply colored paint. Allow to dry 24-48 hrs. Dust all surfaces with tack cloth (NO RAGS). APPLY 3RD (FINAL) coat using same slow application as 2nd coat. Allow to dry for 7-10 days. That means garage, tarp, NO carwash, no moisture!!!, After this time apply a compounding paste per manufacturer's directions. DONOT MOUNT ON VEHICLE FOR 10 DAYS! Note that only Rusto Fusion 2x will adhere well. I know its no longer inexpensive!!! Other brands of plastic primer, seal, and paint will lose its appeal over time due to UV, Mother Nature, scratches, & loss of adhesion. Mine is Apple Red🍎

Where can we see your project? You have a link? If you did make a video how about a link to a picture? And I was wondering how long you've had the paint on and how has it held up?
