Need help with paint

Hey guys,
I painted my bumpers and bull bar a flat black. But the paint around the edges is chipping off. What can help keep it atring and not chip or peel?

better prep. a matte clear would help though

did you sand, wipe, and use a primer?

Yes, sanded wiped and used some rig primer. I haven't used a clear coat because I like the flat black look. Would the matte clear coat make it shine?

A matte clear coat may give it a little "shine" but not as much as a gloss clear coat. depending on how much chipping you have on the edges, you may be able to just touch up, then clear coat it all.
