Give it a good key and flatten out any imperfections, as long as you use a good Primer you should be right, although you may get some reactions from the old paint with the new, I would get as much off as physically possible.

It might do mate when I sprayed some bits and they turned out a bit darker gave the
A few good coats of polish and they were ok but might not be the case for you also I think it can depend on the colour of the primer you used?

All on the same day? Personally I would have left each step at least 12 hour's to dry properly.
