Cause I'm confused in the English terms. It's only the clear coat that's porous, the coloured lacquer beneath seals up fine...
It's just like you said, they didn't use a primer/base coat beneath that. So the paint bonding to the metal can be an issue, causing it to chip easy.
@negaatio doubt it, baking a powder coating on top of the colour could burn it.
