Question on how to paint tail lamp bezels?

Can anyone help me with recommendations on paint to use to paint my rear bezels flat black? I know I need to sand em down and the primer them a couple times but what type of flat black paint do you guys recommend and do you use clear coat on them or just leave bare paint?

No sanding for me. I used an adhesive promoter and black paint. No clear either. Looks great and is holding up well.
