How would you go about painting a pre-printed mini (lemm.ee)

I see a lot of bigger minis (medis?) from shows like DBZ and I always think I'd love to paint over them.

But you can't just start painting on top, right? What do you do to prep them for repainting?

So when people buy minis like this one, they typically strip off the old first?

For something that large and with such largely sculpted details, I'd probably just spray paint over it without stripping.

The paint may end up a little more susceptible to wear than if you strip it, but this is a display piece not a tabletop piece so I imagine it won't get handled nearly as much or as roughly.
