you can...i just did mine as well and have no experience w/paint and i didn't buy a spray gun either. i just went to autozone, picked up adhesive promoter, primer and high heat engine paint in the colors that i wanted and some high heat clear coat and i started painting. i even masked off the lettering and painted it a different color than the rest of the piece. anyone can do it...here are a few pics:
I did the engine cover 1st and so its not as nice as the rest of the pieces...its not as shiney b/c i wetsanded it w/1500 grit sandpaper after clearing it...DO NOT DO THAT...
