or beadblasting, as someone mentioned. Remember, though, that Magnesium  
would much rather return to it's origin as a trace element in salt water than be  
a fan on your engine!  I.E. - It will corrode quickly. You should plan on  
coating the "blasted" thing as soon as possible. A good primer/top coat is easy  
for us "chemically challenged". I'm sure there are other annodizing or other  
rinses available, powder coating is also an alternative. -Seth  Emerson
