Returning Visitors
If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.
If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

I've used PJ1 on case covers. Renobruce has used Duplicolor & bake I think... Posplayr has used POR15, Can't remember off hand what KrisV used.
Plenty of info out there.

Are you keeping it silver? If it's not in too bad of shape, you can just scrub it down and polish up the side covers. They can be pretty nasty and still come out new looking if you work at it. If you need to paint, whatever you use, the prep is the most important part of the process if you want a lasting result.
If I had to do mine over, I'd probably go with the POR-15 stuff. Great reviews on it. I used Duplicolor with ceramic. No miles on mine yet.... time will tell if it holds up.

Engine Paint
Yes, I would like to keep it the same silver color, overall it is in pretty good condition, however there are a few areas where it's somewhat discolored or slightly chipping. I assume if I paint it I will need to use an HVLP sprayer?

Not necessarily... you could get away with rattle can.

I really like the Duplicolor Caliper paint. Comes in a rattle can. Just remember to bake the cases after the paint dries as per the can instructions. Practically indestructible. Resists gas & oil well, comes in quite a few colors.
