Matt, I hand sand everything. it is still the best way to prep metal. if the hood and tim work is unchipped you can just sand and repait but as there are scratches and chips you need to take those parts clear to bare metal or the scrapes will show through your new paint every time. you can do a pretty good job with Case IH 2150, it is good paint. I have given up using primer. just thin the paint a little and start squirting. Go slow and don't try to get it red all at once. The first coat you just want to lay down a light film so the next coats will have something to stick to. then just keep going over it til it is well cover. remember to point the gun to get up under and around all the hard to get to places. the last coat you need to put on heavy enough so it looks wet. this will give you a nice gloss. And with just a little practice you won't have any runs. The first tractor I painted was a D-15 Allis when I was 15. I used persion orange from the Allis dealer and it came out looking better than new.
