I wouldn't be that generous. :?

hee hee, thanks guys, not really suited to a polished finish then?

Polishing them up could be a mucky job... all that Mg alloy dust etc.
And I think they'd need to be clear-coated over the top to stop any corrosion.

But not impossible...

Good God no! :shock: They corrode with paint on them! they'd just crumble to dust if you took it off!

Seriously, they could look quite cool polished and would probably not suffer from oxidation as badly. You'd need to keep a close eye on them and keep them waxed but they would look nice I reckon.

Don't use a power tool to polish them though if they are magnesium! :shock:

Having paint or lacquer on them causes more corrosion than it prevents cos it traps water against the metal and boy does mag oxidise when it gets going!
