I don't think I would tackle painting that myself if the car is a nice one.
I have a bit of experience painting things like that. I can do mirrors, or a valve cover, but something that big is not that easy. you will get fish eyes, dust and possibly runs and thin spots in it too.
You could do it if you REALLY take your time and do not rush any steps.
But the thing is, unless you get primer and paint and clearcoat that have flex agent in them, when it bends(and it will) the paint will crack.
PS, if you can get a good pro job for $100 do it.
