If you have the pilot arc torch starting the cut shouldn't be a problem. If you have a standard torch you should have a clean metal starting area but then can go through paint and rust.

Thanks for the quick responses, good to know.
When cutting thru powder coating, I've found that just scoring the paint with a scribe or knife improves the performance greatly.
