I am repainting some sheet metal. It was previously painted with acrylic lacquer and the existing paint is in good condition. I want to repaint it with a different color. I will be using lacquer again. Do I have to primer the existing paint or just scuff up the existing paint and paint oner it with the new color. The existing color is green and I will be repainting it red. Thank you for your help!

if the exixting paint is good, you can wet sand it down with 400 grit wet dry paper, wipe down with a good wax and grease remover, (prep sol, final wash ect) and go ahead and paint. you may be concerned with the base color bleeding thru and altering the hue of the red. you can always grey prime over the green to neutral out the color and then lay the red over it.
