Default Grill and bezel paint

I was wondering how to go about painting all my chrome trim (laredo)...including the mirrors, grille, headlight bezels etc. Without breaking the bank and what would be the best type of paint. Also what type of clearcoat would be best for protection after the fact?? I'm planning on going black.

-thanks, mike
