Hi, What paint do you plan using? Acrylic or Enamel?
Before I put anything on the metal, I first of all give the surface a very good clean with an Acrylic thinners.
Next I use Mr Hobby Metal Primer on all the metal on my builds before I paint on an Acrylic undercoat then finishing with an Acrylic top coat,
It works for me but others might have another idea or two.
