I would think anytime you hammer on paint it would chip...

I dont paint my hammers.

Sorry couldn't resist.

I painted my gas tank with it. It seems to hold up fine 6 years later (but only about 1200 miles).

Trailer miles don't count.

I would think that just like any other paint, the prep is key. Or not. The spatter paint in my truck didn't hold up worth a crap as soon as I put something in the trunk. I guess that's why they have trunk mats eh?

And then I'd bet some brands of hammered paint hold up better too.
