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?

Soul in reply to @Gumbé

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.

Thanks so much, that's what I expected/feared. The handrails on the wall side can be unscrewed but the central piece is going to have to be done in situ, so I guess stripping will make most sense then and be less fiddly? With appropriate ventilation...
