As far as I know we don't pronounce "g" in ing endings:

Playin', movin', talkin' etc.

Do we pronounce "g" at the end of adjectives?

Temting (temptin'), appealing (appealin'), fascinating (fascinatin') etc.

Thanks.

No, that's wrong. The sound at the end of 'ing' is[FONT=Lucida Sans Unicode, sans-serif] /ŋ/ [/FONT]not /n/.
The use of /n/ here is sub-standard in AusE at least, and non-standard in most other places.
