Do you want to make it unglossy? If so lightly sand and use a good bonding primer. Sand again with 220 grit, then paint. You can use spray paint, or a sprayer with Latex paint or a mohair roller.

I agree that chalk paint would most likely work well. Chalk paint is made for refinishing furniture and doesn't require any prep work. I like to use the chalky finish paint from DecoArt.

First, you need to get rid of the gloss - 220 grit sandpaper should do the trick. After that, give it a good primer and then paint.
Sand the gloss off, or use liquid sandpaper to remove it.
Sand it really well first
