It is not paint on the mirrors and hinges. It is a method of coating similar to powder coating, yet uses a vynal-plastic substrate and hardner, but I for get the name. If you look at the mirror, there will most likly be a white residue, That is a (and I use this word loosly) Discharge from the type of alloy thats used, water, and the coating process, it bubbles up and cracks the paint. I went to my dealership and b*tched about this, not cover under warranty, and thats when this was explained to me.

You can strip the mirror and re-paint, powdercoat, but will just reappear over time.
