The best paint for your uke is always going to be nitrocellulose lacquer. I have used automotive acrylic enamel on many guitars with pleasing results as well. Edit: the best source I have found for nitro. lacquer is guitar re-ranch check here http://reranchstore.stores.yahoo.net/ Auto acrylic is available from your local NAPA.
