What paint to use for wing mirrors?

[Andy325i]

Should I just get them sprayed with the same paint as the rest of the bodywork or is it different paint I need to use (more flexable?)

Many thanks

You'll need plastic primer (more flexible and prevents vracking of paint), but can use the same topcoat + lacquer.

Thanx mate

Just a thought, would etch primer work?

Plastic primer is really the best way to go, you can get it in aerosol form, try your local accessory shop.
Thats what i would use and have.

Etch primer is really for a different purpose.
