[alfa] Refinishing Magnesium Wheels

["Deno S. Gualtieri" <deno@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have an older set of GTA wheels that need refinishing. There are 
multiple layers of paint on them. I brought them to a wheel refinisher 
who asked me what color I wanted them painted. I had suggested just 
blasting them and put a clear coat. He said that would not work. He said 
something about it not staying on for more than a few months.
So now the questions. Why wouldn't it be possible to just clear coat the 
wheel? If it need to be painted, what is the correct color? Can I just 
have them blasted and left unfinished?
Thanks for sharing your input.
