I bought a nickle cad kit from eastwood, it looks crappy, not the new look like a brand new booster, i vote flat black or cast iron

Delco Morraine boosters were cadmium plated from factory and Bendix units were painted black. MC's of course were cast iron.

I taped up all the ports then blasted it with glass beads. Leaves a pefect base for primer and paint.
