It depends. If the ground is made through a threaded fastener you
just need to make sure you are getting metal to metal contact on the
threads. It may require chasing the threads with a tap to get a clean
surface. If you have a male tab and a female connector going over it,
you should scrape away some of the paint to get a good ground. A bit
of dielectric grease on the connection will help retard the rust.
