Rosewood is a wood that has a high oil content. You would have to remove all of the old finish and then wipe it down with acetone or lacquer thinner. Prime it and then paint it. It is a shame to cover up rosewood.
Rosewood is an expensive and beautiful wood. High quality furniture and guitars. I would not paint it. But if you must....lightly sand to remove and gloss. Prime with Kilz primer then paint. Seal with three coats of a water based polyurethane.
