The way to do the arches is to 40 grit it all so it's really scored and furry. Then shoot it over with a few coats of high build plastic primer, then 400 grit then 800 grit to get a smooth base for colour - you may need a coat or two more of primer after. Then colour and clear.
With the door handles you are better off spending a few quid on just buying the pre-primed handles as every set of painted black ones I have seen have come out a little bit badly.

it certainly is not. u dont want to do that. sounds like a mess. the proper way to do this is simply give them a scotchbrite with red scotch and high build prime. flat this down and if needed re prime then paint... ull have no probs with scores or furry either this way
