yes prime first Your paint will adhere better. Try to lightly sand then prime and paint. Or you could spray paint with the paint made for outdoor furniture it’ll stick nicely .
Try sanding rough areas, then use a primer and the color she would like. Send before and after pics. Fun project for mother/daughter.

Yes I did . I lightly sanded it so the paint would stick to it and not creep. Then I did two coats of a water based "bull's eye sealer" and two coats of water base semi glosslatex enamel paint. I did it all with a paint paint brush. It goes faster if you use a roller to apply the paint and then immediately go over the rolled on paint with a brush.
thank You all so much for your ideas. My daughter IS very artistic so she will LOVE doing this project! I will DEF post pictures.
try sanding them to create a smoother finish
