Is it feasible to metal spray a cam?

Just an idea here, I have a iron roller cam from comp in one of the bracket cars. I was concerned it wasn't a billet steel like all the other rollers I had bought from them when it arrived but after a phone call I was informed that they do make iron roller cams also, It seem to be the same material as a flat tappet cam just ground without the crown on the lobe. You should be able to have them grind a cam like this for the slant also. Have you figured out the lifters yet? How much lift are you trying to get?
