    I didnt check out the link. But i dont think painting something like that is DIY kinda job. Might turn out like crap if you lack experience. I say just get on a budget, save up or something and get it done right the first time.

    yo the moldings are the most that take the abuse, if you get a crappy paint job on them the paint will peel, or get chipped easily...i suggest u get it professionaly done..
