A while back, I was dragging a culvert behind my tractor. It caught on a
concrete lip, stood straight up, then tipped over on my better half's car
hood.
She was not impressed.

OK, now I've bought a like new hood from the salvage yard, and she just
got a quote for $500 to paint it. That ain't gonna happen.

I'm pretty good at painting tractors and other equipment. Enough to know
the key is preparation. What steps should be taken to paint this hood? (I
know it has a clear coat over the white color, I need red with a clear
coat) If I don't get it right, the boss will just take it in.
