The biggest benefit of fresh primer before paint (not counting bare metal preparation) is that you get a more uniform paint coating with less layers of paint. But this mostly holds true for lighter colours.
There is nothing wrong with primering it, but if you plan to do it, use good primer.

Thanks for all the info!

1) Should I wet sand or dry sand? What type of sandpaper should I use?

2) I am not going to primer, so do I just sand as smooth as I can? - Do you use a rough sand paper first, then smooth as best I can with a less rough sand paper?

3) Should I make sure to sand off the Rustoleum enamel entirely?
