Surface prep is the key. If you do a spotless prep, sand with 600 grit paper, and let dry for a couple of days between light coats, it will be pretty durable. You'll still end up with a few small scratches and chips here and there, though. Spray on a color coat that's just enough to cover the surface, and no more. Then build up the coating with 3-4 coats of clear. Then all your minor scratches and chips will be in the clear coat, and almost invisible.
If you want a tougher coating, you should consider powdercoat. Of course, meticulous surface is important there, too.
