How to paint engine?

What is the best was to prep an engine that is already painted for new paint. The old paint is peeling badly. i have started scraping it off, but should I use a paint remover? I have painted two engines in the past and have had both peel badly, what causes this, poor prep??

Also, I've been looking at peoples engine pics on here and a lot of them look super glossy and REALLY ORANGE!! How many coats of paint should be applied??

Basically, what I'm looking for is a step by step for painting!
Please help!!
