So no to your cast cases.
My old 1980 TT500 had sidecover marked Magnesium so people didn't try Weld it inappropriately. Still used in manufacturing but more expensive.
I spoke to a couple of companies today they thought powder coating would be a better way to go with the cases. It seems the Cerakote is a non permanent coating that does not hold up to abrasion very well.
