Paint is used as an exterior finish to prevent rot or corrosion of the substrate. Exterior paints form a water and air tight coating that prevents the ingress of water and air and so protects the underlying material. Other coating can offer a similar protection such as varnish although paint offers a wide variety of color as well as texture.

If the handles are plastic, Krylon makes an excellent line of spray paint products that bonds to plastic and adheres to the surface. Most spray paint products only coat the plastic and on a surface like a handle that will be used constantly, is easily scratched or peeled. The Krylon plastic paint bonds to the plastic surface and is very durable. The one down side is if you paint the handles and don't like the results, there is no going backwards, you can't remove the paint once it has cured.
Interior paint is more porous and less resistant to the elements than a paint actually devised to use outside. A flat paint finish or a satin paint finish is better outside, a gloss paint finish can also be used but only sparingly, as it reflects light and may highlight more flaws.
Shale can also be used in the manufacture of plastics and roofing cement.
Might try Krylon Fusion aerosol paint. Specially designed for plastic. Have used on a Cherokee plastic grill.
Intumescent paint systems are used to improve the passive fire resistance. Using an intumescent paint will slow the spreading of a possible fire. It can be used on timber or steel, but also on walls and ceiling.
Yes, but it won't work as well as exterior paint. The difference may not be visible in the short run though. But interior paint formulations do not include such additive as moldicide/fungicide that help paint resist wet exterior conditions, or stronger elastomerics that help paint better expand and contract with the outside temperature fluctuations, or sun protectors and special pigments that resist fading. Outside paint also create stronger/more durable surface film for better surface protection.

Latex paint is an indoor paint, which will not work very well on siding; you can paint it on, but it is going to peel off pretty quickly. Use an enamel paint.
