i'm guessing that you want to start off practising painting with just a paintbrush?
search on youtube mate. there are heaps of vids available.
Jin Saotome and Spurt Reynolds also have really great guides to painting transformers.
Radicons also have quite a number of custom ROTF devastators which you can "borrow" for ideas.
the basic and most easiest formulas to use are the same:
-clean the figure in warm soapy water
-tape up areas you dont want to paint with masking tape
-spray paint or hand paint a base coat over the figure.
-dry brush on top (note: get use to the idea that you are going to waste a lot of paint but fark it, at $3-$4 a tub, you'll survive)
practise on a junker figure or some random plastic pieces first if you are not confident with your painting skills.
that should help get you started.

You may find some useful tips on procustomizers under the 'how-to' thread.
Dry brushing is a great technique to use, if you haven't heard of it before. Great for bringing up little details.
Cheers.
