Default A spray paint that wont chip

I am in the search for a spray paint that wont chip. I have a FMIC that gets wrecked after I do a drive in the canyons or even normal city driving.. So my question is there a spray paint that I can get that is resistant to rock chips? Other than power coat what are my options?

This is what it looks like after I spray paint it with normal black enamel.. I am kinda looking for a flat black look

The only thing that isn't gonna chip is undercoating, which wouldn't look very good. Ever thought about having it anodized black?

True, forgot about that stuff. Don't have any experience with it though.
