Help-Repainting a turntable

I have an older Well Tempered turntable which the black glossy paint has lost its lutre, plus has some chips in the wood. I just bought a 2nd Well Tempered so this one is out of service, I figure now would be an excellent time to repaint/restore.

Any suggestions on sanding/removing old paint, (wood filler?) and then what type of paint to use (spray paint/brush can?) ...I was considering taking it to an Auto body shop for a respray as well.

I think I may go Ferarri Red or Piano Gloss white

thanks for your responses....

I went ahead and took some of your cues and Primed, sanded, filled, painted, painted, painted painted ......

sanded, ....painted.....and am now in the final stages of a Clear coat gloss.......

I ended up doing like 6 coats of primer, 8 coats of white gloss lacquer, and 8 coats of clear gloss lacquer

the table looks CONSIDERABLY better than before! using the Audiogon scale from a 5 to a 8 or 9!

I ended going to Ace, OSH , Longs Drugs, and Home Depot and settled on Rust-O-Leum Gloss Lacquer Spray paints and primer.....used 320 to strip the old finish and am using 400 to do the final sanding...
