Magnesium alloy has poor corosion resistance, chromate coatings are used on Magnesium to give a corrosion resistant coating. If you are going to repaint your Magteks I would say get them paint stripped by someone who knows what they are doing, I used to use a nylon media blaster which removes the paint but does not remove the chromating like this:
Normal sandblasting will remove this coating in a blink of the eye. I also had my wheels painted with epoxy primer and topcoat, 6 years on and they still look mint with no corrosion.
