I'm going to be painting a semi-gloss finish over and existing semi-gloss finish. Do I need to do anything special to the walls to get them ready as far as sanding? Will the paint stick to the walls since the other finish is glossy? Please help

I would run a sanding pole with a fine sanding screen over them first, then wipe off all the dust. Then it should be fine.
