4043 works for most vintage cast aluminum. As far as adding the texture back... it depends on the type of texture. Some textures are more rough than others, and casting material does not always respond the same way each time. Almost like some castings are harder than others. Softer castings are easier to get a good texture than harder castings. There are several techniques and it usually requires reading the materials and applying the correct technique, or many techniques, to achieve the desired results. It would be much easier to show someone than to explain it all.
