It will and can chip depending on type of powder used. Some powder coating media is extremely flexible and durable and if it scratches can be fixed by hitting it with a heat gun until the powder flows back into the crack. Yet some are harder and thus more brittle and will chip upon impact.

I am very familiar with the tiger drylac brand media as well as eastwoods hot coat. I have plenty of things powdercoated on all my vehicles as well as machinery I have designed at work. I typically deal with my friends company that has been powdercoating for over 50 years (ever seen the small adjusters on the shoulder straps of bras)
