painting over glossy paint

16 years ago

I have a bright orange glossy (probably semi-gloss) bookcase that I would like to paint dark brown. Is there a special type of paint/primer I should use, something that adheres well to glossy paint? Or do I need to sand it first? It was probably painted back in the 60s or early 70s, so it's *possible* it's lead paint, so I'm a little leery of sanding it. Thanks!
