Yes, you can put this in custom css.

To make a css rule affect only a certain page, just prefix any css declaration with the post id:

#post-1329 .slider_post {

background: url("image_URL");

}

That basically tells your browser to apply that background to any object of class .slider_post only if it is part of an element with the id #post-1329.

You would need to change to the correct post number, of course.

Try background-image instead. (Use PNGs)
