Or at least tape it off and paint it! Use some engine enamel... get some rubber gloves or something and rub the wet paint into the casting. This REALLY helps paint stick to cast iron. RUB IT IN!

Put a light on it to heat it up (especially if its black) and it'll self level out and will look amazing. My block (pictured above.. at the very top) looked worse than yours at one point.

Yeah.. $50 would be a bit extreme. You could powder coat it for that much.
