     Rob,
     I have heard that real magnesium wheels ( like ours ) do not fair
     well in a
     powder coating oven,
     something about the heat after all these years making them even more
     brittle,
     I would simply clean them , maybe strip them, spray them with Argent
     Silver
     and then a clear coat.

     I disagree with Michael.
     Not only do they "fair well", in an (appropriately set) oven, but a
     long (over-night) cool down helps
     take "stress" (?) out of the molecular structure (?).A  Or so people
     have been saying for decades of magnesium work (like aircraft).
     I believe that a special magnesium primer is called for (Zinc
     Chromate ???), then your color of choice...Argent Silver.
     Not sure about my 15X10 Campies (1984 vintage ?), but I believe the
     powder-coating needs no additional (clear coat) sealer, the
     result is already the correct semi-gloss/shine.
     Chuck
