It's not hard to do the actual painting. What is hard is doing the prep work. Cleaning, masking and taping is tedious. I use acyrlic enamel if I can't get engine enamel in the correct shade. Any automotive paint store can match the color if you provide a sample.
Just be sure to mask EVERYTHING! Overspray will find any uncovered area. Try using heavy disposable dropcloths and cover the whole vehicle.
