When I did mine I used a palm sander with 400 grit paper and about 4 hours of work on each cowl:


Wiped the entire cart down with denatured alchohol. Primed with 2 coats of automotive primer/thiner/adhesion promoter. Followed with 4 coats of PPG Millenium Yellow Single Stage Enamel:


Take your time on the prep. The rest, well, you learn as you go. I had never painted anything before.
