Repaint myself?

I have a case of this touch up paint from another project and I’m considering using it to repaint this cab. It was repainted in the past with a cheap paint. Has orange peal and some minor blisters in one drip rail. Am I asking for problems doing this myself?

Thats not orange peel.... That cab was painted with a roller and alkyd enamel paint. Nothing is going to stick to that properly without a very good prep and prime first.

Thanks I figured I’d need to do a lot of prep but didn’t know anything about that paint
