The more layers of paint, the easier it will chip and peel. A good paint job will resist chipping very well. Use DuPont's Imron, that is what the custom paint jobs on semi trucks are done in and they see a lot of salt, gravel, etc.
Good paint doesn't fade until it is left unwaxed for about 20 years.
The more times it gets crappy paint added on top of crappy paint, the more expensive it will be to have it done right.
