I have an Aluminium Giant which I've chipped the paintwork, in one place down to the metal.

Whats the best way to touch these up?

Do I need to use a primer like you need to with steel?
Will they cause a problem in later life if left?

Can I just use enamel paint?
(I can't be arsed with spraying/covering things up etc)

Any old car touch up paint or nail varnish even will do for small chips
