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.
None of my other painted interior (and exterior) pieces chipped.
