Default $50 paint job, wrinkle/cracks in paint?

I been working on my Imprezza in Japan and started a $50 paint job. I am using a paint gun and is coming along fine. The only problem so far is that the paint on my plastic door handles seem to crack/wrinkle/lift up in some areas. Ive tried numerous times to sand it down smooth and reapply some more coats, but same outcome. Anyone here having the same problems? Anyone got a solution for me? Pics soon to be posted.

im almost 100 percent sure its because of the oil your hand leaves behind. try washing the door handles with dish soap.
