Do what "The Painter" said, but I would give it a light sanding first.
Also you can have Fresh Start, (Benjamin Moore product) tinted if you are painting it a med. to deep color. Have the paint dealer tint it 1/2 formula of the final color so it's not darker than the final coat.

Scrape and sand - if the paint is peeling or bubbled, you need to scrape it and then sand the edges. In general you should "cut" the surface by sanding all of the area you plan to paint. Afterward, depending on such factors as the colors involved and condition of the material - for example, especially if bare wood shows in places, you can use a base coat to ensure even coverage and adherence. Of course, you have to wipe down or otherwise clean the surface after scraping and sanding. One common base coat is "Kilz" primer.

use a primer called fresh start, cover all the wood with one coat, let dry for 24 hours then paint.
