I used Duplicolor truck & van paint. Topped it off with Duplicolor clear laquer. No probs with chipping...as long as you don't paint your handles!

they are referring to the actual part that you push and pull on with your hand with...the softer plastic handle(not the little black plastic one that has the plastic trim around it w/the lock buttons on it)...the paint wears off of it from your hands....

Not really on your hands but it does chip pretty easily

Did you sand the plastic first? or just clean and paint?

And you wonder why it chips.

on the "rubbery cheap plastic" handles in the cougar, if you sand well with 200 and then again with 400 and wipe clean with a wet towel, and then dry it, give it about 3 coats of duplicolor filler primer, sanding with 1000 between each coat and cleaning, then use about 4 or 5 thin layers of duplicolor paint (again, sanding in between each and cleaning up the dust), and then about 4 coats of clear (don't have to sand the clear if you did a good enough job earlier one)..

I have the handles completely black and we haven't had a problem yet.
