It depends what your intentions are. If you're after factory correct finish, be advised that none of the components you mentioned were originally painted. Restoring and maintaining the original natural finishes is difficult.

Re: paint

Mel,
Joe is absolutely correct. You can probably get by with a very light coating of satin clear from a rattle can. Should help maintain the original appearance without looking "painted".
