Touch ups for Powder coated parts?

Has anyone got any recommendations for paints to touch up chips in the powder coating of my chassis and suspension parts?

Cheers
James

Satin black Hammerite has worked pretty well for me.

POR-15 is always praised for being a good solid chip-proof paint, which will protect well against any further rust. However if it's on chassis exposed to sunlight (wishbones etc) then it will need a topcoat of hammerite or similar because the colour is UV sensitive.

As both above Satin black, spray and hammerite smooth are a pretty good match
