Definitely use high temp and use some acetone or a good alcohol wash to be sure all the dirt and oil is gone once you finish sanding it. A very light coat of sandable or self etching primer will help be sure paint adheres to the metal also. If your going for a glossy look then a little clear coat will make them easier to clean and protect the paint chipping or from damage from oils or other fluids that may get on it
