It should work.  On newer paint, I'd take a 3M 400-grit sanding sponge to it to
rough it up before a final cleaning with the prep.  Also, regular masking tape
will 'sometimes' allow paint to creep underneath.  Pay a couple of dollars and
get the green stuff.

Note:  I am not and never have been a pro painter.  My dad did it as a
profession for a couple of years and I got some ability through osmosis.  But
you should ask the people at the paint counter for specific recommendations.
Maybe a couple of people.  There are goobers in every job  :)

Goober on a daily basis.
