Brown and Sharpe Vintage 10” Rotary Head

For some good advice, have a look at Stefan Gotteswinter's youtube channel: His Vertex rebuild is well worth it!
his playlist is at:

I think he had or created an oil hole to oil the central pivot. My vertex is greased, but I only use it once a year, so grease is fine for that.

The Rotary Table is cleaning up nice. The cam or centric is soaking right now, I don't know why it is stiff every other bearing surface is perfect. If I could figure out how to remove it I would and I will come hell or high water.
Pics- Degreaser then Evaporust overnight. Amazing stuff.

I would like to match the dark machine gray. Any ideas? I could always take it in to Sherwin Williams and ask them to do their computer match.

I have found some off-the-shelf metal clad paints are similar. But I don't mind a modest change in in tone. I'd check what is locally available.
