DIY painting tips?, or should i just take it to the pros... Options

Hey guys,

I recently got some gt-four raiser blocks, they are in primer. I have absolutely no experience painting anything. I do have a large (25gal?) air compressor with the spray attachment for paint. I was wondering if you guys think I could paint these myself, with decent results? I don't want it to look like crud, and I don't want to spend alot to paint such small parts either.

If you have DIY painting experience, could you give me some tips, including where to get paint, some detailed steps, tips and tricks, etc?

Or, please let me know if this is far too much for a complete amateur to handle and get favorable results, and if i should just take it to a shop.

Thanks guys!!!!

Yeahhhh, after reading all of your comments I think I've decided to just hand it over to the pros. lol, I have absolutely nothing to "practice" on that's the same type of material as the blocks, I really don't have anywhere clean either.

Oh well, I never imagined it was so involved, but I guess that's why its so expensive to get a good job done right? Thanks for all of your input anyway guys, I'm normally up for a challenge, but I don't want to ruin my blocks. I'd beat myself up.

for me.
