If the paint that's on there is in reasonable/good condition, all you will need to do is key the paint with a scotchbrite pad or similar, prime & spray.
If the paints not good, sand using 800-1000 grit paper until you get a smooth enough surface, then prime & spray. -------------------- Regards

Oppsya the paint was fine... i went after it with 60 to take all the gloss and everything off to get it as bare as possible oh well, just more paint time for me i guess... and i could only find grit up to like 440... guess i need to go shopping again:(
