Are you having them professionally painted? If so, you can let the professional do it and just pay a bit more prep time. This will give the best job.

If you have some cellulose thinners, that will take off rattle can paint if that has been used and it would be worth getting that off before taking to a professional as its very messy and time consuming and they wont thank you for that. They cant paint on top of rattle can paint. You could try the thinners on the residue too. Otherwise, white spirit or petrol maybe?

If you were thinking of using rattle cans yourself, I would say get a quote first from a professional as by the time you have bought everything, its not cheap doing it yourself and no guarantee about the quality and match you will end up with.

Depending on what paint is on there, you dont need to remove all the paint but just need to get it level and inert.
