I don't know what "standard" paint woud be, but it certainly could be that what I tried did not work, where perhaps some other formula might. I was using auto paint in MINI Chile Red, but brushed on rather than sprayed. I'll try agai, maybe.
Is it just flaking on its own accord? when you said chipping I imagined it meant being struck by something. This would be your best bet to increase bonding properties http://www.midwayautosupply.com/show...iliateid=10050
I believe that what you describe as "flaking" is probably closer to what I saw. I was able to remove the completely dried paint just by rubbing it. It would have easily come off in a car wash, for example, and certainly with any vigorous polishing.
No one has asked yet, but what did you have to do before painting the rear control arms? Hopefully no disassembly I've been thinking about doing the same thing.

you can use my approach i used for my brakes.... paint what you see haha
I used that exact approach. I laid on my belly, took rubbing alcohol and shop towels, cleaned the control arms. then placed some regular printing paper behind the section i was going to spray to prevent overspray and then did 3 coats. i stayed away from any bushings joints etc.
