Repainting metal with an enamel coat

We are recycling some metal from an old gas station that has an enamal coat, can I repaint this and what should I use?

If the enamel coat is in good shape with no checks or pits this will serve as the best base you can find. Thoroughly clean and degrease with a prep-sol solvent and lightly sand to blend any broken edges. Apply a quality acrylic enamel with hardner to mfg. recommendations.
