Question Painting Body

I was interested in find out any info that I can to clean up my sled. I have a 97 ski-doo touring e. I was curious if anyone could tell me how you could go about painting the body panels. I was just planning on taking the decals off and getting new ones. Most likely I'll just be painting it all black if that's possible. Thanks for any tips and tricks to making this easier.

I run a body shop and have painted all of my sleds, if it has paint already you would just clean it with a wax and grease remover then skuff it up with a red scotch brite pad or sand with 400 and paint it with automotive paint, if it is bare plastic do the same but before it is painted you need to apply a plastic adhesion promoter, would be a good idea to put some flex additive in the paint for plastic panels, if you are painting bare aluminum you need a acid etch primer for aluminum, follow the same steps
