How do I repaint a brand new metal bed frame?

I’m about to buy a brand new metal bed frame that’s painted gray and gold, and want to spray paint it white. The original paint job is completely smooth. I’m confused whether it’s necessary to sand down (if so, what type of sand paper to use) and prime it beforehand. And is there a specific type of spray paint I need to look for?

Wet sand it with medium grit sandpaper.A glossy surface will not allow the paint to stick without chipping off.I prefer an airbrush or auto body paint gun with lacquer paint(Used for car Bodies).Krylon in a spray can can be used in a pinch,but it will leave drips and runs if sprayed too thick.It has the best spray nozzle of any spray paint.Light coverage in long strokes Horizontally or Vertically leaves the best results.Surface Preparation is 80% of a good paint Job.A local body shop could probably do it for $50 bucks or so.
