"raw" magnesium it aint! Mag alloy is used in some aircraft/helo parts (wheels etc) to reduce weight but it comes with problematic fire issues requiring specific firefighting equipment (Delboy - ask your rigs FF teams). So its probably not used for intake manifolds.
The high temp Alu paint I used gave it a finish close to the original which, considering its a "rough" cast finish, is never going to be got to a high shine finish.
There is a thread on here somewhere where someone (who is now PNG on this forum) showed a manifold refurb process.
