You willreally have to sand them down , otherwise you will always have bother with the paint chippping off here and there . . You could get a pad they use in rubbing down cars at panel beaters, also you coud use a scouring pad with sugar soap mixed in,obtainable from a paint shop so rub down the paint and give it a key for good adhesuion . A good idea too to use aluminium paint for the first coat .( not aluminium primer , but PAINT)
