Spray painting an electrical cord
I spray painted an electrical cord black, using high temp spray paint (it was the only black spray paint I had on hand). Simple, right? So why am I here?
I picked up the cord a few days after painting it and the paint was coming off onto my hands.
What's up with that? Now I suppose I need to remove the spray paint and try something else. Suggestions?

Ok......I bite. Why would you be painting an extension cord 
It's pretty hard to paint something that's as flexible as a rubber or thermoplastic wire.
They do make black extension cords.
