When I did the front suspension on the Chevelle a few winters back I decided to go a similar way as Jim (wheelhop). This is not a trailered show car, it is driven regularly in the summer and once in a great while I get caught in the rain.
I had the cast stuff powder coated to appear cast (guy up in Delavan, WI). I really like the results of Rick's (SS427) process but not sure how it would hold up being driven regularly or even if it got soaked in the rain.
This worked for my non concourse application and is holding up very well even after 3 or 4 thousand miles and being caught in a few rain storms. Much better than "cast blast" in my opinion as it has a more "as cast" dull/course finish and much more durable.
