Barn Find Vice Comes Back to life! Rusty Gold!
What happens here
Carefully apply blue painter's tape to mask off any areas on the rotating base and movable jaw that should not be painted, such as internal sliding surfaces or mounting points. Once masked, arrange the components on a suitable surface, possibly elevated on rebar as shown, and apply an even coat of Krylon Fusion All-in-One Hammered Copper spray paint to all the main cast-iron pieces. For the smaller components like the main screw handles and small bolts, spray them with black spray paint for a contrasting finish.
Goal: Apply new protective and aesthetic paint coats to all vise components.
