Question re-paint my fmic black

when i done it,i used a acid etch primer, then a matt finish black spray cans.

it has picked up some chips now, and wouldlike to re do it.

would it be best to give it a v light rub down with a fine wet sandpaper, then a soapy wash.

as for respraying it, should i use hammerite matt finish, or i have seen some radiator black paint. what would work best?

thanks
ian

Satin is in between matt and gloss, I would personally go for satin it will have a tiny sheen to it.
