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.
There are three main types of lacquer used in woodworking projects: nitrocellulose lacquer, acrylic lacquer, and water-based lacquer. Nitrocellulose lacquer is known for its fast drying time and durability. Acrylic lacquer is more environmentally friendly and has a high level of clarity. Water-based lacquer is also eco-friendly and has low odor, making it a popular choice for indoor projects.

Yes, the Chinese are credited with inventing lacquer. The use of lacquer dates back to at least the Shang Dynasty (c. 1600–1046 BC) in China. Lacquer is a type of varnish made from the sap of the lacquer tree and has been used for decorative and protective purposes on various objects.
Lacquer thinner evaporates quicker. It is cleaner or leaves less of a film than paint thinner. Lacquer thinner will thin most solvent based paint but paint thinner shouldn't be used to thin Lacquer. Lacquer dries from the surface painted out and enammal dries from the surface of the paint down to the surface painted. Using the wrong thinner affects how the paint dries and may affect the final finish.
YES, I have used it on hundreds of duck and goose decoys for over 20 years. It not only protects new paint, but it also renews the oxidized color on old decoys. It lasts for up to 5 years with normal use, and 1 can will treat about a dozen magnum duck decoys. Reapply when dullness starts to reappear.
