    Baldor matching paint color?

    I spoke with a Rep from Baldor earlier today, she is going to get back to me by tomorrow. I found plenty of grey paint, but the grinder and stand is more of a bluish-grey. Here is what the mounting plate looks like now, shows why I want to paint it.

    I mentioned this in the "Vises" thread, but if you are looking for a great way to move your heavy vises around it is hard to beat a hydraulic lift table. There are some really nice ones out there, but they come with a price tag to match. I found one at Harbor Freight on sale for $260, then...
