What kind of paint?

Hey guys... I'm having alot of trouble with paint. especially with my grill outline (the top piece) it chips like a ***** and I dont know what's wrong. I've been using krylon (flat black) and putting on multiple coats, I'm just wondering what better paint there is that is long lasting and has a nice clean smooth finish meant for outside use.
