I see you are going the "show route" with this one!!!

Have you sand blasted these castings to MAKE them rough,or are they just "factory" rough???Have you had them blasted at all?(NO picture,so I am guessing at this point.)

If you are going to have them blasted,I would reccomend SOFTER blast media than sand.They can use media that is just a paint stripper.(If you use sand ,it will make the cast iron pitting WORSE !!!!

If you are NOT having the castings blasted,it will be a process of sanding,using a GOOD high build primer,and sanding some more to fill in MINOR pitting.For DEEPER pitting,you will have to break out the spot putty for those.

But,remember,the castings are SUPPOSED to have somewhat of a rough surface to them!They are all naturally "grainy' from the IH factory. ;)
