Unless you want the new paint to fall off within a few weeks,
all places that will be painted, must be sanded down, the shine must be removed completely.
Use 400 wet paper, panel and paper must remain wet while sanding, concentrate on tight edges and joins.
Vehicle will need to be washed down with prepsol,(degreaser.) before spraying to remove all tar, wax etc.
The sanding causes a key, which gives the new paint something to grip to.

It will at least need to be sanded enough to remove all of the shine. Depending on the type of paint that will be used, 400-600 grit will be sufficient.

Sand any shiny spots with 250 grit sandpaper at least but not completely sanded down.

Only if you want the paint to stick to the car.
