It's not like these spots are high traffic areas so I'm kinda torqued.<img src="/images/smilies/grumble.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":grumble:" title="Grumble    :grumble:" data-shortname=":grumble:" /><img src="/images/smilies/grumble.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":grumble:" title="Grumble    :grumble:" data-shortname=":grumble:" /><img src="/images/smilies/grumble.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":grumble:" title="Grumble    :grumble:" data-shortname=":grumble:" />Anyway, I'm guessing I need to sand this **** off before I paint? What grit do I need? And what enamel should I use? My grandpa was a carpenter but I was a dumbass kid and didn't pay attention ... do I need a basecoat of something? Am I looking for oil-based? Somebody school me ...Ok, and second, I wanna paint some metal sculpture wall-hangings I have. So ... same kinda questions ... scuff it up before I paint, or leave it smooth? I definitely want a high-gloss enamel on this. Cover and spray?? Or will a small brush work without leaving streaks? Clear top-coat? I want a pretth deep shine on this job.Thanks guys!! <img src="/images/smilies/image191.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":chat:" title="Image191    :chat:" data-shortname=":chat:" /></blockquote>
