There's a couple other things you'll need, and i forget what they are. The door handles are not metal, they're plastic, and paint needs a special promoter/applicator to make it stick.
In essence the stages would be...
prep (promoter)
wet sand then primer
paint
clear
wet sand (2000 grit)
And if you want this to look sharp, you cant do it out of a can, its gotta be through a REAL paint gun.

Yeah I would not recommend doing this yourselves. I paid $160 to get both done and it was well worth it. Also bear in mind that if you don't have brand spanking new paint on the car, you're going to need to blend in order to get it to match the rest of the vehicle.
