You are correct with trying to repair powder coating... (you just have to redo the whole part
). However, it takes alot to chip it (very flexible). When it does chip... you are correct in that there's nothing to stop rust. What I have done on parts prone to getting chipped is to "top coat" the color coat of powder with clear powder coat. This will add one more layer to keep from exposing bare metal. Get a piece of steel that has been "properly powder coated", and beat on it with a hammer
. You will see it's very tuff stuff. POR 15 is a good choice, but in "side by side" test against Eastwood Co. "Encapsulator" the Eastwood stuff beat it. The test was done by a restoration magazine that was bias to both products.
