Sanding is a must. Priming not necessary but would be better.
If you're after a really good finish, you might want to think about stripping the existing paint or doing lots of sanding.

Most trim paints are suitable wood and metal, already primed & with no corrosion (most) standard (trim) paints will apply fine over that with a little rub down at 180ish*. Personally I wouldn't be confident to take it from oil (as it looks) to wb paint - don't know why tbh / high wear area
-*to de-gloss / get the hand grease off

This is an astonishingly basic question by the standard of this thread, but what's the consensus on repainting this ironwork to a new colour—does it need sanding/roughing up and re-priming to give bright green a fighting chance?
