It is not hard to do if you do some reading and TAKE YOUR TIME!!!

A good option for a first time painter is the Martin Senour Crossfire system from Napa, or the PPG Omni system (my local Carquest stocks it). These are both value line paint systems and are VERY easy to use.

Don't rush to get paint on and neglect your body work! The work you put in before you paint will make a HUGE difference in your finished product.
