Painting a metal cabinet - questions

Hello, I have a metal IKEA cabinet - it already has a finish and no rust or anything. I just want to paint decorative details on it to make it cuter. Currently it’s white. Do I need to clean with acetone? Do I need to prime it? What kind of paint can I use (not spray paint since I want to hand paint details with a brush)? Do I need to seal it somehow after? Thank you! submitted by /u/knottybobotty [link] [comments]
