Is there a product out there that gives a smooth surface a cast iron look? Thanks
Frank

Without knowing the scale, I can only recommend Mr. Surfacer and not the grit.

You can get it with MR Surfacer 500, or liquid glue.

Here a tutorial

Be aware that it won't stick particularly well. Mr. Surfacer adheres to styrene because fo the solvents in it; it bonds like liquid cement. On anything except styrene, though, the solvents have no effect and the Mr. Surface really has no adherance other than the fact that it has dried tightly to the surface.

If applied to a sheet of brass, a slight flex in the sheet will cause it to flake off. If applied to a more solid lump of brass, it won't come off unless the lump is flexed OR unless a lot of shear stress is applied to it, like heavy sanding. So if you use it on anything other than styrene, be very very careful sanding it back to the right texture, you don't want to have it flake off.

Just an FYI.
