Painting brass

I have a dining room brass chandelier I want to spray black. I've read your answers and want to spray paint but what type of primer do I use for best results and is it necessary to sand it first.

Just put it in the backyard, take out the light bulbs, and spray paint it.

btw...isn't it weird we have the same last name and city?
