Hi
There are a number of steps you need to take.
Few steps:
1) Prepare the wood,
2) remove old paint and
3) fill any indentations
4) sand down old wood
5) Add first coat, either a primer or a base coat
6) Add main paint
7) sand down softly
8) Add the second layer.
this should be enough otherwise another sand down and final coat
good luck
