re-painting a suca tank

[albertc2]

Hey guys i need your help and advice. So i have a AL40 stage bottle that is originally yellow. I really do not like the color yellow and i am going to re-paint it black. I was wondering if i should sand paper the tank the create some kind of grip for the paint then just using black spray paint and primer. Do you guys think sand paper will do any kind of damage to the aluminum tank?
Thanks for you guys advice!
