Please Don't
Single-stage paint that you can wet sand and hand rub, and touch up if needed, is much more preferred.

What he said, ditto I have a
I have a lot of powder coated bolt-on accessories and parts done on various bikes. But not the tin.
Don't do it, the first time there os a chip or scratch:
#1) impossible to paint match. There is no such thing as spot powdercoating. Its the whole thing or nothing.
#2) if you do not take care of a scratch or chip right away rusting begins "under" th powder coat. Where you can't see it.
Ural started to powedercoat entire bikes in 2013. By 2016 they went back to paint. Lesson learned.
Yeah, it's durable... until it ain't.

The problem with having it
Regarding touchup of minor chips on powder coated parts, you can get some of the powder used for the original, dissolve it in a solvent and paint it on using a brush. That's not a lot different from repairing painted surfaces.
