Rick, 120 in fine for your first pass at the lower unit. When it nice and smooth, prime and then sand again with a 320 or 400. When it looks and feels good (you can pick up a lot of imperfections by hand feel) put on your last coat of primer and then topcoat.
Another good painting tip in order to get sharp paint lines between colors on the cowl is to use 3M fine line tape. It’s a 1/4” tape that goes great around curves, and gives a much better paint line.
