Coatings of magnesium for decorative applications

I work at a company that is a manufacture of mechanical precision components. We make the biggest part of the components in aluminium, but we decided to start to make components in magnesium, mainly because of the lower weight of this alloy. The pieces are used for decorative applications, and we need a process to coat them, with a good corrosion resistance.

We are open to all possibilities, so I would like to know the main techniques that can be used, their advantages and disadvantages, and the companies that can provide us the systems.

Best Regards,
