id probly run a sanding disc 80grit over it try not taking all the gal of it,
base coat it with etch primer, and a good 1-2 coat over that ,
just what im thinking i havent done too much with wet paint , i did 2-3 years in the powder coaters kinda different area there, got away from all that now < nearly boilermaker

use hi-chem etch primer from super cheap. there is NO better primer for zinc. I have used all the top brands and still buy this cheap stuff
