Re: Larger Firearm Safe
I will definitely considering painting the inside white after I've lined the safe with wood.
I've always been hesitant of white due to how dirt and grim shows up in it. Then again, a safe isnt supposed to be aesthetically pleasing, its supposed to secure your goods.
Later this evening I'll be painting the inside of the safe door as well as the front of the safe and the last side.
The paintjob actually came out quite nice, not as I expected but still good

Re: Larger Firearm Safe
So just an update. I've lined the interior with wood so I can add shelves. I decided to not paint the interior for now.
I was reading through the SABS standard for B2 safes and noticed that the door isn't 100% compliant because of the hinge side of the door.
It requires either 3 x 20mm pins spaced not more than 500mm apart or a angled flat bar that covers 90% of the door, so as to prevent the door from opening if the hinges are cut.
It only has a bar covering about 60% of the door.
So I went to Brackenfell Steel and had to buy 3 meters of 20mm rod so I can cut off 3 x 2.5cm pieces. I am having them welded on this week.
Now I sit with 2.9 meters of 20mm rod, with nothing to do with it. Anybody keen on buying it?
