If you have the time to spend on it here's a process I've used.
Mask off the bodywork and glass before you start. Then clean the trim with some 600grit before giving it a coat of etch primer. Make sure you have every other surface masked off, this etch primer really etches! Give the primer coat a quick go with 800grit, then start on the top coats. IMHO a satin black is the best look, but it is your car. And as with all spray jobs, take your time and do 3 light coats rather than one heavy one. Also, feel free to give a light 800 sand between coats. Once it's done give it a couple of days then in with a good rubbing/waxing compound.
Congratulations, you've just made your pride and joy joyful and proud!
