Around here Jersey Mike's is the bomb. They are the best sub shop by far.

I would recommend power washing to remove any peeling paint and grime. Then sand/fill/sand the necessary spots. You can safely paint over the old paint as long as the old paint's adherence to the wood is good and your new paint will stick to it. If in doubt start with a primer coat. The primer coat would probably be recommended for the patched areas anyway.
