What do you all use for painting in chips on the black door mirror mountings. I seem to be getting a few chips on my driver side mounting. Is it just ordinary black touch-up paint or is somethhing like Hammerite better?

Hammerite would look a bit weird, go for a satin black

They are powder coated aluminium, you will need to cover them or the water will oxidise the Al and bubble the coating off.
They are a PITA to replace (had mine done under warranty)
I'd try some semi matt black touch up paint (black exhaust paint comes up semi matt)

Thanks for your replies. I do see some bubbles under the paint so I guess they have been touched up before. I'll find some matt black and paint 'em up.
