How to paint this!

I need to paint my door handles, locks, rear trim around the back hatch and plastic on the ttop. Does anyone know what kind of black paint to get? I was thinking of just brushing it on, do you think that would look ok? Thanks a lot for all your help.

Brushing will most likely look real cheap. I highly suggest spraying. On my Camaro I use Krylon semi-flat black on the t-tops, centerbar, around the rear glass, and on the door locks. Never have needed to do my handles. The Krylon lasts a couple of years before needing to be redone. If you want to do it better, use a 30% or so gloss black automotive enamel. It isn't hard to remove most of the parts, so I recommend doing that, and masking the t-top bar and rear glass.

I did my hatch strip a couple weeks ago. I used Rustoleum semi-gloss black enamel. Looks so much better than rust. I am going to do my locks and wiper arms some day too.
