I am restoring a 1949 "M"and there is extentive pit marks in the casting below the battery box and down side of frame. Could this be from the casting mold or age and what is the best way to fix it if need be?

You can fill the pits with a good filler then try lightly sand blasting them to attain some texture. I don't know if it will work, but that is what I would try. It might take a couple of attempts to get perfection.

Never tried this but it may work. There is a flec-stone textured paint that comes in multi part cans. Maybe you could repair the pits, spay on this or some other type of textured primer or paint and then paint over it if the paint is compatible. Maybe????

Cam, probably from leaking battery acid over the years, that stuff will pit anything with iron in it. Those pits are hard to repair to look like casting, 2-K urethane primer will fill the pits ok but after sanding the casting will be smooth & not look like a casting anymore. If you are good with a paint gun you can spray to achieve orange peel & get the casting look back.
