Yes, in my opinion it's never too late to begin a good paint job. I am a huge fan of Scotch Brite pads. Get as much of the old paint off as practically possible without actually removing significant amounts of the shell. Don't worry about getting it all off - if it's blotchy but smooth to the touch, it's good enough to paint. You'll want to dull any flat shiny surfaces. The duller the better. Paint won't stick to flat shiny areas.

Step #2 is a simple vac and wash. Vacuum off the shell with an upholstery brush attachment. If you've got dogs or cats, vacuum yourself off too before painting. Then use a rag with a dab of paint thinner or alcohol to wipe down the shell. At that point it's ready to paint. Yes! Thank you!

Now I can sleep easy at night knowing that my horrid paint job can be reversed for another paint job that I may or may not have time to do.
