Would these stripes be hard to paint on the wall?

I'm redoing my room and I want these stripes on my wall. My dad said that we could do it but it might be hard. What do you think?

as a former painting contractor and interior decorator, this is doable. First make sure the wall in question is square, and plumb. If you don't understand the plumb part, ask your dad if he has a plumb bob. Measure the entire wall, marking off the width of the strips you want, then roll the wall in white. The next day, starting taping the wall, using 1" blue painters tape. Roll the pink on with a 3" roller with 1/4" nap on it. Roll off the excess each time you reoll the roller in the tray and before applying to the wall. When the wall is done, wait an hour and start removing the tape, pulling straight off from the wall.
 
it will take a lot of preparation and time because you will have to wait for one paint to dry before you can tape it to paint the next color
 
use tape go slowly and measure and it is easy. Rub your finger over the edge of the tape to make sure you have a good seal and then when you take the tape off go very slowly...it is best to paint right up to the edge of the tape not over the tape.
