If it's still original gel try color sanding before you jump into painting it. You might be suprised how much of the original shine comes back.

If it has a rattle can paint job on it now, you will need to get rid of all the spray bomb before you paint it with real paint .

I painted my old boat with western hi-glo enamel and a harbor freight HVLP gun. A gallon of paint was less than $100 with reducer/catalyst...it was easy to shoot and held up good. As always, prep is key to a good paint job.
