Paint won't adhere if the metal is still oily. Mineral spirits and constantly clean paper towels. Wipe once and switch.

The JCR site has a very good painting how to pdf. Everything from prep to primer to paint suggestions. I recently used it with very good results. The prep is the most important part.

Be patient. It'll be worth the effort.
