Painting the Beast

[GSUwhiskers]

Hey guys while I've got Eleanor sitting around waiting on parts, I thought I might go ahead and start painting her (just spray paint). I've got to do the grab bar and plastic supports and several frame spots. But most importantly I have to hit the differential and axle, now I know how I'm going to do the frame and whatnot, but I wasn't sure if that axle and diff needed special attention? Also whats the best thing to hit that with? Just hand sand?

I know shes in rough shape, but I pulled her out of a barn where she sat neglected for years, one day I'll get her powder coated, but until then rust reformer will have to do.
