Default Touch up powder coat -help

My poison SPyder rocker knickers are powder coated smooth (not like a rough line x) and I've put them to good use and I really don't care about the scratches much but I noticed that the one scar actually took a huge chunk out of the powder coat and it looks like it may start rusting

Any tips on how to touch this up?

Either strip all the powder coat off; which would take a long time with sand blaster, or use rattle can spray paint. Spray paint probably cheaper and less time consuming.

Sharpie works on smaller scratches. For something that big, i don't know.

Powder coat looks great and is used on a lot of show vehicles. Once it's chipped you have to strip it to re-apply the powder coat. There is no "patching" powder coat. That's one of the reasons we bed-line so much stuff, it's easy to repair. The best I can suggest is POR-15 to stop it from rusting.

I use this pretty regularly on all my powder coat. Matches up real nice. I actually bought about 4 cans in case they discontinue the color on me.
Satin Canyon Black.
