    Had a low speed dive into the kitty litter today, a few things scratched, including the LHS engine casing,

    Does anyone know if the magnesium casings can be sprayed?

    I don't see any reason why not, just as long as the correct paint is used.

    i see no reason why not but if the casing it scratched it will look bad when re-sprayed, how about putting on a set of R&G engine covers to cover it up

    it is scratched but its so soft, I think it would be easy to sand out. I have the honda carbon covers obviously the left one is scuffed but the right one is good. I just think if they are covered I will struggle to ever sell it as id always want to look underneath. (not that im selling it)
