Hi Terry,
Remember that you can affordably get replacements for door handles and wiper
bezels from the good suppliers. But if you do want to paint them, just run
them through the wire wheel on your bench grinder, and prime and paint.

(brands?)
I like PPG. DP 40, 50 90, etc. non sandable epoxy primer, followed by
Pacific Coast Laquer Company Polyprimer, which is sandable, followed by PPG
acrylic enamel or urethane top coat.
This is not to knock other brands. I just have had good experience with PPG
and not a lot of experience with other brands.
Regards,
