Picked this up today off of craigslist cleaned it up and primed and painted it verde green. I like the looks of this vice and it is extremely smooth.The jaws were like new so I don't think it was used much.

Nice! Get a polishing wheel and some compound and go to town on the meatball, handles.

Welcome to GJ and I love the vise. Be careful restoring vises is a contagious vice.

That's a beautiful color. Great choice!

Also, maybe I'm new to the vise cleaning/restoration world (I am), but that sounds like a quick turnaround, from purchase to finish paint the same day.
