Default Paint prep.

I am replacing a dented fender with a used fender of another color. Can I just paint over the old paint or how should I prep it?

take it to a body shop, the paint will need to be stripped.

Everybody is saying strip it. I know that's the best wat to go but it seems pretty extreme. I've done a fair amount of repainting beofre withour removing and stripping the whole panel. Seems like you should be able to prime or seal the fender if its good a shoot another color over it??????
