I just un packed my bed sides and front bed panel and it looks like they are painted black. Do I need to strip these to bare metal or is it ok to just scuff them, prime and paint? I got the parts from the old Chevy Duty. It's been awhile since I have had time to work on the old truck. Thanks Eric.

That's EDP, Electro Deposited Primer. It does not need to be removed, scuff, prime, and finish as usual. The OEMs use the same primer to prevent rust on new vehicles.

Thanks Longbox55. I thought it would be ok, just thought I would ask to make sure. You are from Danville, Ill. I used to live in Taylorville,Ill. It's about 30 miles south of Springfield. It's a small world. Thanks again for the info Eric.
