Re: Grill Paint Prep Question

I am wondering if I should simply sand it down a little to rough up the paint then prime and paint it, or should I try to strip the existing 2 layers of paint off it before putting on my color? Since it is plastic I am not even sure if stripping is possible?
What do you all think?

I'd just sand it down pretty good, primer it, and paint it. The primer will take care of any issues with the old paint.
