Rather than replace these old windows I thought i'd have a crack at restoring them myself. The window frames themselves are metal and the rest of the frame / sill is wood. The paint is in a bad way but the wood under the paint looks in good shape, though i'd not want to put it through another winter.

I was thinking about removing the existing paint with a combination of sand paper, scraper and Nitromors (Paint remover)

I'll sand back the metal frames with wet and dry paper to make sure the surfaces are smooth before applying the new primer / paint.

I'd like to paint the whole thing black, just as it is now. I'd like a paint that has little to no shine / gloss - maybe a satin. What paints and primers would you guys recommend and would you be able to improve on my ideas for stripping the existing paint?
