Default Guide to painting engine compartment walls?

I'm curious whats involved with this, it seems I have seen some pictures of painters just painting right over the old paint.

Is it ok to paint without prep like that? What do I need to apply; just primer and paint or some kind of clear coat also?

I still have all my components and wires attached to the walls, so I don't know how I am going to do this. If I recall correctly, you need all new clips for the wires when you remove them. The only prep tool I have is 220 grit sandpaper

I've painted the engine for the most part now, and now I have parts of the compartment walls with chips in the paint that kind of ruin the look of the engine
