Default Overcoming chipping paint when repainting

Hi,

I would like to repaint my window sill which has an old layer of paint
that has chipped and there are spots that look like this now:

What to do before repainting? Strip the whole thing? Fill the "potholes
with wood putty? Do something else?

Thanks!

Aaron Fude

For the best job: strip, prime, and paint. A good paint store will sell you
the proper materials.
