I have a large black plastic tool box that I keep tools, bars, gloves, etc.
I keep it outside on the tractor most of the time. It keeps me from having to go to the shop if I just need a hammer, screwdriver, come-a-long, etc.
The problem I'm having is that the box sets out in the sun and gets super hot inside and some of the more delicate items deteriorate in it. A pair of rubber gloves will get hard and brittle, electrical tape and other tapes will get bad, etc.
I'm sure most of the reason it gets so hot is because of the box being black.The ideal thing would be to coat the outside of the box with reflective paint or something. But, the outside of the plastic box has been weathered so bad that I don't think anything will stick to it.
So what I'm wondering is if I could coat the inside of the box with aluminum paint, or line it with aluminum foil, or some type of insulation, that would hopefully cool it down a little.
Would any of that work or any other ideas out there?

After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
