The finish when used on Magnesium comes out greenish grey and varies with the strength of the solution and how it is applied how long it is left on some times you have to do it couple of times, but you must always leave it dry inbetween.
goes without saying eye protection and rubber gloves are must!
The results are not 100% predictable and the color can rub off, It looks best with a lite coating of wd40 or bike shine type
spray.
The ing cover in the photo looks like this method ( a little blotchy ) the inner clutch cover and WP cover look a little too good and they mite be anodized to look like that

The green color is darker on some more than others....some one told me it has to do with the Arsenic in the metal ( up to 0.3% of the metals weight is Arsenic that they add to prevent the mag alloy from corroding )
Some how they found that adding one third of one percent arsenic to magnesium reduced corrosion 90 percent. Such “poisons” stop the reaction by preventing single hydrogen atoms, produced by the electrolytic reaction, from giving up electrons as they join in pairs to make hydrogen molecules. The arsenic combines with the bare single hydrogen atoms, stopping the reaction. With electron flow halted, magnesium cannot “become ore.”
We just like the color LOL!
Try not to lick the covers a lot it may not be that good for you !
The coating like DOW 7 DOW 19 work good that is what the military use.
What would the water pump, ing cover, and inner clutch cover be made from "Material wise" on a 2014 350SXF KTM ?
Have you heard of PPG's DX Series Coatings ?
What would be the closest thing to make it look like the factory ones
the side cover is hard to tell. if its magnesium theres not really a coating that can take abuse, and ive never seen one colored like that, and i doubt they would do Mg. i'm going to guess and say its aluminum done the same way the stator cover is.
