Roof rails are chipping. What paint should I use?

Thought about using stove paint but thought there might be something specific I should use.

A semi-gloss black paint would probably look the best, I forget the name of the manufacturer but there is a specific paint made for auto trim that works well, maybe it is made by wurth?

A black magic marker also goes a long way pretty much on BMW surface.

I hated the look of the M3 carbon fiber roof. Sort of grey/black weave. Anyway, long story short, I personally thought it looked great, but the sales guy at the dealership was pretty pissed.
