No-Just take off most of the sheen. Make it dull. All the little scratches give the paint something to grab onto.

Clean it first, remove hooks, scuff it (the gray scotchbrite pads are good for this), clean off dust, WASH YOUR HANDS WITH SOAP, tape off the lip, grab the tail wire with a pair of vice grips so it is securely locked in (this will give you a handle and allow you to stand the plug up as it dries), spray paint with Rustleum enamel (mist on light coats working along the length of the body- keep the can moving), let dry 10 min. Between coats, once the black is covered and the color looks good you are done. Hang to dry in a warm place for a day.
