Welcome!
AFAIK any painting of that stuff will give essentially the same results as if you painted plastic. That is to say, it will chip and flake quite easily.

You might have better luck with dyeing it, but the color options would be more limited.

The handles are black, dyeing is not going to work.

Krylon Fusion bonds very well to most plastics, it will scratch but chipping/flaking isn't a problem.
