guitar painting

i have a question about painting my guitar…?

I wanted to cover my neck and body (maybe even fretboard) in custom graphics. i didnt know if there was a certain type of paint i was supposed to use or what…i wanted to just use like flat model paint or something but would that effect the playability of my guitar? like, ruin the notes by painting the fretboard or take away some of the tone? also i wanted to know if there was like a spray on gloss finish or something like that so that my thumb will still feel the same sliding up the neck. also, should i put like painters tape on the frets (the little metal things that seperate the frets lol i dont know what theyre called) so that they dont get paint onthem or would it be ok just to scratch the paint off? anyone know anything about painting guitars would help…thank you…
i kinda wanted to do the same thing that Daron Malakian’s (system of a down) father did to his guitar. if that helps…you can search for it on yahoo images and find it easy…

I’m not a finishing expert. I can’t tell you what types of paints, finishes, etc. to use. But you can paint your guitar without causing damage if you are careful. Check out the Red and White guitar in this photo. http://www.the-soundfactory.com/TGS/eg_fendermexico.shtml

You will just need to be very, very careful to mask off the crowns of the frets, and the tuners, headstock, etc. Please, take out all of the electronics. Don’t try to just mask them off.
