paint mending RS Duke Race

[Ole Ledang]

The paint on my RS Duke Race is pealing off. I think the metal in the lower legs is magnesium. When
the metal is in the open, what do I do to protect the lower legs from corrosion? Any special tricks
to paint magnesium? Thanks, Ole

Don't worry about it. It looks lovely as it is.
