A chipped flakey spray painted cool box. Leave it as it is. Definitely give you that extra Carpy look on the bank..Now a camo tapped water bottle will put you right up there.

You've got a really good cool box and to replace like for like won't be cheap. Instead of messing about with paint why not get a bag for it.
Camo tape another option obv, might be o.k for a while.
Taking it back to original finish and repainting will be a pain, painting over flake a short term mess.
Me, I'd be tempted to strip it back and leave it as is, and admit defeat.
