The original powdercoat is baked on in an oven. Its nearly impossible to clean it completely off. You can do what you said...clean up the rough spots and paint over OR get some chemical paint strippers.
Or...if money isn't tight sandblast it.

I'm 13 so I don't have the money for a sandblaster lol. I actually found chipping off the paint with a flathead screwdriver did much better and got right down to the bare aluminum. The inside I can just paint right over as it's very smooth and even. The outside is what i need to smooth out before i apply the new black paint. @ Nick; what exact paint did you use on your california green ped signal?
