i think its the nature of magnesium alloy buddy lacquering a bare metal is just bad practice must be the magnesium as ive seen a lot of just alloy frames lacquered that seem fine and have stood the test of time
 
What brand and color lacquer and tinting did you use? I will be refinishing my Mag 21 SL's soon (I'll do a thread on it) and was thinking about using the finish that wind instrument owners use for their trumpets, tubas, etc. I realize they're brass and not MG but I was planning on calling the manufacturer to ask for recommendations.
 
the thing is wouldnt brass be just lacquered buddy ? i will have a look see if i have any of the colour additive left :)
 
Have you used a special primer before lacquer ? If not I'm not sure of the result with the time... Apparently magnesium is really different than aluminium in results... Just my 2 cents. On other hands very nice results.. 👍
