I would recommend sanding it down. That will make painting easier and you will be more satisfied with the final product. I know one good marine safe brand is kilz. I am pretty sure krylin is the paint you are referring to as well.

yeah i have no idea what Kilz is and can't find it, is it a UK brand?

Kilz claim to fame was creating a latex based sealer/primer paint that covers and kilz mold on drywall and concrete products. Latex paint is water based not oil making it aquarium safe.

The probably the most popular brand for painting ornaments is Krylon Fusion.
