Those pictures are pretty satisfying! What cleaner are you using? Some cracking results.

Perhaps actual gold plating would give a nice durable finish.

Whether it's the last thing you're worried about not won't matter, it's more about how the magnesium was paint prep'd. There's zero paint left on mine when they were painted after headwork. Others have painted too, it doesn't hang around long, so we're all interested how long your powdercoating lasts innit.
