found this the other day which is good on repairing Gibbos .. http://www.dbeweb.com/guitar/index.html
page 3 is where he start painting.
Pity he hasn't got an email adress up..

Just to let you know I usually paint houses ,when i'm working and i ain't bad,but..tried to paint a guitar with less than great (OK ..but not quite as intended) results [NOT with Gloss/Emulsion]..but,if you get the right tools and working conditions I don't see why you couldn't.

I'd say get some scraps of mahogany/body wood from a lumber yard to practice on, this will give you an approx idea how the body will "take" the paint,of course diffrent woods react differently.

Lord is right-on as long as you get you wood prep'd and sanded right-taking all the dust out,with a tack rag,natch- you'll eventually be sealing the wood and protecting it.

This is good http://reranch.com/

Good Luck.
Accuracy,you say? hmm interesting concept..
