So, I'm cleaning up and painting my Craftsman toolbox from the mid '70's so that it will look decent on top of my new tool chest

The smaller drawers looked fairly decent and I planned on only polishing the aluminum pulls and painting the exposed face of the drawers

So, I decide to throw them in the dishwasher to knockoff some of the dirt. Mind you this is just the 6" x 12" deep little drawers shown below

So, explain why all the paint, every bit disappeared. No odor, no smoke no evidence in the dishwasher.

Yes, that's perfectly bare metal with some rust already.
