I painted mine last summer.  I used a two part catalyzed polyurethane
acrylic enamel from PPG.  To prep the surface I cleaned it twice with
ammonia solution and a Scotch Brite medium scuffing pad.  Then I cleaned
it with silicone removing solvents and painted it without a primer or
sealer.  You don't need a primer, and sealers are supposed to protect
the solvents in the new paint from softening the old, but it wasn't
needed in my case, so I saved the money.  Hasn't been on long, but so
far it has held up fine and looks great, and it should last longer than
the original.  I recommend that you do it.
