Sand it. Fill any major spots. Soak the ground where you will paint it. Wipe it down with alcohol because it drys fast. The wet ground keeps the dust down. Then paint it. I would use a HVLP spray gun. I am planning to do the exact same thing next month. You have seen my other truck. I like flat paint for many reasons. It hides dents real good and it is easy to patch up. So if you find a spot later that does not look good you can just do a little sanding and touch it up. Just use a paint that you can get in a spray can too for those touch ups after a little oops. A good job is in the details. Be sure to remove emblems and either fill the holes or paint them seperate and put them back on. I would remove any of those bump strips or whatever they are called. They look bad pained or taped off. You need a heat gun to get thise off. Only tape what you can't take off. But with flat paint you can always go back to make it look better.
