One thing I did with my hammeriting (and mine is the smooth type) was to thin down the paint a bit and do 3 coats rather than 1 thick coat. Seems to have helped...
After 6 days of on/off trains guards vans it has a couple of nicks but not 'chips' as such, and as said previously it is dead easy to touch up. :-)
