Magnesium wheels

Does anyone really know what the coating on the magnesiums is? Is it sprayed on? Is it baked? I've talked to some wheel guys here in the DFW area and get no answers, maybe I'm talking to the wrong guys.

Thanks,

I could be wrong but I think it is baked on. My buddy has those wheels and he curbed rashed one, it has never flaked. I could be wrong.
