steps to take on removing these parts. thanks.

I haven't done it myself but I would venture to guess that the door handles can be removed by taking off the door panel and unbolting them, as would the beauty bar. The grill can be easily removed by loosening the screws that hold it on to the hood...been there and done that.
I would also venture to guess that you should use regular automotive paint and then clear coat it when all is done.

In the past on plastic parts i have used a light grey laquer primer + primer sealer just before paint,
urethane or acrylic enamel are good
prep your parts by de waxing,sanding then surface cleaner and tack rag.
spray in a warm dust free area with a fan for overspray.
very light coats are best, a fog coat followed by a colour coat and a final gloss coat should do it.
as for removing, take off your door skins and go to town, beauty bar? no clue what one of them is.

I painted my grill and rear bar with plastic paint. just sanded cleaned with tack rag & painted with light coats till done. I would like to do my doors also just to lazy to take off. I think I will see what new ones cost and paint them and change them out.
