    I think it is whatever looks like cast iron.

      Yup, just plain, natural cast iron. However, this rapidly degrades to the color of RUST in service.

        If interested in achieving the factory look of natural cast that wont immediately rust you have two choices: Natural cast colored paint or, after cleaning down to the natural bare metal, clear coat paint. Both paints are available form Eastwood. Cast blast for the cast colored paint and diamond clear, satin finish, for the clear coating.

          For most of the differential I build I blast, etch, POR15 base coat, and shoot Seymours Cast Blast. This provides a nice durable finish that can be easily touched up if scratched during installation. For NCRS diff's I blast to bare iron and use Rust Preventive Magic to keep the fresh iron look with protection. Also Fluid Film can be used, spray it on and let it sit, then buff it out.
