i don't think it's that much hard than other materials. We have a cinder block wall and we first applied a thin coat of concrete then painted it with an exterior acrylic paint. We did scrape off any peeling paint before we started the project.
Preparation is the most important thing in painting. I'd power wash the cinder block first. That will not only clean the block, but take off any loose paint if it's been painted before. And yes, use a quality outdoor paint made for cinder block. Good paint today has primer already in it. Using a paint sprayer is the easiest.
same as painting any other house. you can use a sprayer or brush. The brush takes a bit longer to get into all the crevices. Best to spray wash first, let dry then paint. Paint does not hold well on dirty surface.
Bullseye paint is a good primer and stain cover like Kilz,only you can mix colors in it just like regular paint.You may want to ask someone in your home improvement store's paint section about using it on cinder blocks as I'm not real sure about them.

use a good primer ot paint with primer. Those cinder blocks can suck up the paint!

Prime first or your wasting time and money. After that it shouldn't be a problem.
