yes m8 - I did this early this year.
Bit of wet & dry sand paper to remove / smooth down the bits you are painting (make sure you thoroughly wash the bike first though.
Mask up EVERYTHING you dont want paint on - this can be fiddly but it doesnt need to look nice; just make sure bits are covered.
Use the spray can to put light layers on - spray goes on smoother than brushing (i know cos me and my mate did the bikes at the same time - he opted for brush
you might be able to makeout the results :
