yes you will have to remove as much of the exsisting finish as possible for the new restoration paint to adhere

Hi Linda,
I too would think to sand, prime, paint then gloss, however the website listed below states that if it's already glossed, the gloss should be removed with paint stripper. The point of this website is to give directions to someone who wants to redo a Giani countertop - apparently just the design before the gloss is put on. The part about using the paint stripper is under those directions. Good luck & wishing you the best.
