You can paint over existing paint as long as it is in good condition. I would spay primer over the existing paint, and make sure it has no reactions. Sometimes different paints will react with each other.

I would first preprae the body, put on the primer, if all is well, put on a guide coat, sand it off, and then put on colour & clear if applicable.
