IMO, if your uncle is a good painter, all of this trim and molding, including the bumpers, should be taken off to paint the car. No body - but no body - can do a perfect job of masking. If you can acquire all the parts you are naming, I'd get them, then take them with you when you take your car to your uncle. He may not be a "Lincoln man" but he will know how to remove and reattach the parts. A good body shop, doing an excellent paint job will remove ALL chrome trim and the bumpers - anything that could get an over spray - especially if changing colors. I cannot imagine him not having contacts to get parts for any car, and the costs should be much less than you are talking.
