I've only picked up some vinyl on eBay and would not recommend it

Look for 3M Di-NOC ... Amazon or any reputable vinyl shop.

Honestly your best bet for wrapping procedures is find a good video on YouTube.
Its the kind of thing that requires some experience though... to do it WELL.

I did it in one piece but it’s impossible to get it perfect. The mirror caps are the hardest thing to wrap.

Remove the cap have a friend hold the material as u use a heat gun then stretch it over the cap. Put the edges in and heat edges. use edge seal on the inside of cap and put on. Or sand and re paint them

The door handles were easier I recommend taking them off to do them if you didnt.

The second time i wrapped them they came out alot better with very minimal errors but the perfectionist in me wasn't happy so i opted to get procivic carbon fiber replacements.

For what I saw in your pictures, they came out pretty good.
I did take them off the door handle, I think I needed to warm more the wrap and stretch it. For the hole on little piece of door handle I guess I wont be able to wrap the inside.
Did you took off the Pillar garnish on doors to wrap them?
