I bought a Wilton bullet vise that was not missing hardware. I had @Trav and @Astro14 give an opinion before i bought as they have experience with them i don't.
I disassembled it ,and cleaned the existing rust off there was not a lot. I did use some navel jelly to remove some. Some of the existing paint was well adhered so i did not take it all the way to bare metal. I taped it off and sprayed it with rustoleum rust converter.
I planned to use green for the paint so i wanted a black base, the rustoleum converter , primer fit the bill.
Some one used the vise to mig weld an item so the jaws were rough, I ground the mig spatter off with a bench grinder and flipped the jaws over.
I bought a buffer, and used grey ,then green compound to polish all the steel hardware.

… but I did buy big bruisers to offset the quality …
