Oak veneer external door

Posted by Roxane Davey, on
Hi, I just bought a new oak veneer external door from wickes and plan to paint it. The packaging states that it is supplied ready to paint or stain but it is not suitable for treatment with any type of varnish, oil, wax or polish. My question is, do I need to sand it before I paint it? It is smooth now so don’t understand how standing might make it any smoother! Thanks!
