Need to find a good metal toolbox

Ok, I've been buying some of my own tools and supplies to have in El Kabong.
I went to driving school and being a newbie had nothing with me. I was lucky enough to meet some really nice guys who let me borrow their stuff.
I have now bought my own torque wrench, a good torx set and other misc car stuff.
Being a girl, I want a nice looking toolbox
Of course I'd like it to to "go" with El Kabong, so black would be the best choice but all I can find is red I'd like metal so I can put track stickers on it, since I don't want to put track stickers on the car.
This is what I'd like, but in black (or should I just buy one of these and re-paint it with Krylon?) It needs to be at least 20" long to fit the torque wrench.

Sears has a 20in tool box in black, a 20in long torque wrench should fit corner to corner. Go to http://www.sears.com/ put 59210 in the search window. It is available in 2 depths.

Cool, thanks. I saw that earlier but when I looked at the specs it said it was made of Polyethelene which confused me.
Anyway I'm going by Sears later, maybe I'll drop in and see what they have!

I just spent a small fortune at Sears buying everything I needed to install my aero kit and general tools that are good to have around. They definitely had red (blech), black, and a blue color that I ended up getting. I think its their *lesser* brand but I didn't care. I like it better than the red.

Sears definitely has black metal toolboxes in several different sizes, and even has gray, blue, and green (as well as red of course) in select models. I personally like the ones with 3 or 4 drawers for better tool organization. I ended up with 2 or 3 of those before going with a full-sized roll-away and chest a number of years ago.
