Wilton Bullet Vise Model 400

[AZ Pakrat]

Bought an old Wilton Vise Model 400 today, going to restore it the best I can. Came arcoss this Website and it was discussing old Wilton Vises, and found it interesting so thought I'd see if I could gleen more info. Someone said the paint scheme on the new vises was Rust oleum Verde Green, and I noticed some of the items on Ebay looked a bluish color, so which is the Right color to restore this old vise. I'll ad a couple of the Before pictures of it if I can. Any help would be appreciated.

under all of that rust looks like a very clean and hardly used vise. I'm betting its gonna look really good once its painted/polished.

I am glad you mentioned that thread. I knew I saw it once, but have searched for it several times since and can't find it.
