I have had several pieces powder coated. The finish is prone to chipping. Once the finish is compromised, water gets in and rust starts. The rust will run under the finish poping it off. Repair is to remove the powder coat from the entire piece (sandblasting) and refinish.
Look at the ironwork that has lasted 50 years, 100 years, or more. It was maintained on a regular basis. And not with a $2 can of spray paint.
