Reply to "Refinishing Campi Wheels"

How about touch ups? I pulled my 8" campi's off the front of 7102 and found that during some maneuver of mine last summer that allowed full downward extension of the front suspension the inboard edge of the rim (under where the bead seats) was scratched, all the way around, both wheels. It even chewed up a portion of a stick on wheel weight. It was evidently caused by the upper A arm edge just above the outboard ball joint bolt.
Now I pretty sure I remember when the "suspension extension" happened and I'm not going to do that again. And I don't need a full wheel refinishing, but I would like to touch up these circumferential scratches to protect the magnesium. As it's a area that can't normally be seen (usually it's covered in brake dust) maybe I could just apply only a primer to seal them? Is the Zinc Cromate the only primer that will stick to/seal magnesium? What color is it?
