your solution depends on what type of finish you are looking for(glossy really nice finish, perfection, or just a color change), and how much money you are willing to spend. A basic repaint though would be to remove all the latex paint if you can. Sand the surface, and prime with oil based Kilz(spray or roll) A few hours at 65 degrees or above for drying time, and then recoat with another latex color. Peeling should be eliminated later on with the use of a primer. If rust is a problem I can recomend a product I use in quite often.
