Im sure that you can. I have been thinking of doing this myself because Magnesium can polish up really really welll.

I just have to find a spare valve cover for around 50 bucks and Ill get started on it. Its gonna be a pain in the *** getting through the powder coat though,

there's also a "polished/chrome" type of coating that you can do on it to give it the same effect. A shop posted up a pic of their black project evo a little while ago, they had the coating done. Looked hott!!

Sweet idea! I wish that they made a few more engine dress up options. I mean the performance is there might as well have it look better.
