Best advise I can give you as a first time painter is this: Don't practice on the tractor!!! An old hood or sheet of metal or something that you can adjust your spray gun on and get your viscosity correct on and perfect your spray technique and overlap on. Unless you were born with more natural talent than 90% of us , you will have a mess unless you test spray FIRST. Good Luck on your first project!
