Perhaps removal isnt necessary. I am not sure what the white color is, it is safer to sand the white coating to remove any gloss and then prime. Perhaps removal isnt necessary.

I purchased aluminum which came white in color. Do I need to take the white off before priming and painting? I’m in the process of putting the metal on the trunk.

The seams are sometimes covered with canvas strips, we put them back to make a more even look to the lining paper. We use Rustoleum water based paints, not enamel.

You mentioned that you use Rustoleum on the metal parts. Is it the paint or enamel? Also, when I removed the interior paper, beneath it were strips covering the seams between the wood parts of what looked like Ducktape. I removed them, but am wondering if I should replace them and what should I replace them with. Thanks. Thanks! You mentioned that you use Rustoleum on the metal parts. Is it the paint or enamel?

The lid lifter, lid stay, slat clamps, etc shown on the kits pages are only for one page shopping for other items that you might also need for your trunk restoration. These items are not included in the kits. The Victorian artwork for trunk lids are the ones you listed and others sold on the Tray parts pages at the website. Most antique trunks used the lid stay that matches our S-4830 steel lidstay. Thank you for visiting our blog. We are always eager to help you decide on your trunk restoration items through our 800#. 800-575-1960 Hello, our kit #1 and kit #2 contains the handles, handle caps, and 3 sizes of nails only.

I understand everything until I get to the leather lift. Which lift goes with Kit 1? SR-1502, SRB-LL02 or SR-1501? Which slat clamp, any of them? Do you get the number of clamps needed for the trunk. I need 6 of them. The victorian artwork. Are these the ones like Fisherwoman, Soldier Boy etc? Was also wondering about the size of the stay. The trunk I'm working on is 34 inches by 17 inches by 14 inches deep. Any suggestions? Thanks I am a bit confused on your Kit 1. I understand everything until I get to the leather lift.

I chest that my father used when he was in the army. I want to have it completely refinished (new brass fittings, new leather straps, the inside recovered, etc.), but I don't want to do it myself. Can you recommend any companies/individuals in the Northern Virginia area (Arlington) that could give me an estimate on restoration costs. Thanks. I have a W.W.

If I were doing this I would scavenge for a panel from a broken down antique piece of furniture. The piece might need to be steamed to get round enough to fit. Any antique refinisher or restorer probably would have this. Thank you! If I were doing this I would scavenge for a panel from a broken down antique piece of furniture.
