as title really, is there any special prepwork needed to paint over the top of powdercoating?
does primer key direct onto it, with a bit of roughing up? or will i need to remove it all?

Key it with some red sctoch pads or some 800 wet and dry. Then prime it with some plastic primer. Then prime and paint as usual...

just get some 320 or 180 to it and then the 2k primer will stick to it fine!
