If anything would work on that, it would be chalk paint. It is designed to adhere to high gloss finishes so you don't have to sand. You might want to get a small container and test it out first, but I bet it would work!
Absolutely. Use either a paint deglosser and a primer or Kilz Adhesion Primer, then you are ready to paint.
Don't use a deglosser. It will melt the lacquer finish and leave a sticky rough surface. Its good for deglossing paint finishes, You need to sand to remove the gloss and roughen the surface for paint. Prime with a stain blocking primer like Zinsser 123 or BIN then paint with your color.
Thank you I will try that!!
