Stone chips would open the powder paint to the atmosphere and road splash. The powder paint is powered plastic applied electrostaticly then heated to melt the plastic dust to form a continuous uninterrupted film. When moisture got under the plastic covering the moisture was retained, much like water in a Zip Lock sandwich bag.. This situation caused 6mm main structure plates to rust through in a few years.
I not use powder paint on my projects. My reasons are, much more expensive than wet paint, repair is difficult. Powder paint is a good product in the right situation. Surface cleaning and preparation is much more important for powder paint. A PPG etching primer like DP40 may allow for some less than perfect surface preparation. This primer can be resprayed after cleaning the damaged area, followed by a respray of the topcoat.
