Clean. Sand. Degrease. Paint. If you really care.

Me. I cleaned it a little and hit it with some Rustoleum.

only hassle with rolling it on if it is humid out it can take a few days to cure real well.

Get some scotch brite and just scuff up the old paint thats on there. After its scuffed up, clean it off with some solvant and paint away, its not that hard
