i recently sprayed mine white (was white beforehand)
All i did was fill in the little dings with blade putty, got them all smooth and primed them. Then just went over the whole car with wet and dry and soap to rough it up. Then sprayed.

Vogue if the paint is ok, just faded, have you tried using cutting polish on it? A mate of mine bought a very faded red toyota sprinter, and after about 2 hours worth of cutting and polishing, the thing looked brand new...
