    Anything special needed to be done to paint the rudder and stern thruster cowling?

    While I'm here, I may as well as if it's okay to paint the rudder and thruster cowling? (See photos.) I assume I just need to sand them a bit, degrease, and paint? Or am I missing a crucial step? I don't want to screw it up. It looks pretty simple.
