Wax needs to be removed prior to painting. A wire brush, followed by a flat scrapper and finally washed down with spirits will give you a pain-table surface.

How do you remove wax polish prior to painting furniture?
Before repainting any furniture or cabinets, it's a good idea to wash it first with trisodium phosphate (TSP), which is found in the paint section of the hardware store. To remove heavy wax build-up, use mineral spirits or paint thinner, rags, and lots of elbow grease. You might have to use fine steel wool, especially if the wax is in crevices. Remember, your goal is to remove the wax, not damage the wood. Any wax left on the wood will prevent the paint from sticking as it should, and you will be left with streaks.
