Thank you all SOO much for the helpful comments and suggestions!! This turnout of help is what I was hoping for, and why I love this forum so much. In the meantime I will check out the Paint/Body Section, and I think I've figured out what I'm gonna try now.
After reading and putting my thoughts in, I've decided to clean the tractor (cast) a little better, and after I get the sheetmetal blasted, I'm gonna try the zChrome primer OR the Epoxy Primer. Probably the Epoxy Primer. Then I feel like I should wet sand that down really good after the 2 coats of primer dries the next weekend, then apply the IH Red Acrylic Enamel after wet sanding. I'm gonna apply 3 coats of the red to see how that works.
* Should I block it? (what does that exactly mean?, and what should I use if I should do that.)
* What sand paper should I use for wet sanding, and how do you do that process?
* I will use body filler as necessary, but the sheetmetal on both tractors is pretty dent and pit free.
* Is my process that I want to try out acceptable to where you think I will get better results? I want to at least try to add the sandblasting, priming with epoxy primer, and wet sanding to the process to see the differences before doing all of the other work mentioned. I might be surprised how much a difference that will make, and it might just be what I'm looking for. What do you guys think?? I'm not wanting them show perfect, but I'm wanting a pretty slick paintjob to the eyes and touch.

Many owners of tractors travel long distances to attend these shows and they usually take their restored iron along with them. Safe trailering practices and inspections will ensure that the event is a fun one. A good habit to develop when using a trailer is to give that �quick look over� before taking it on a trip. Before hooking up to it check the tongue for proper operation. The latche
