Fine for a neck but not always what you want with a body. Don't put it over blue or you'll get green!
Thank you for clueing me in on these important points. I'm showing my own ignorance as a newbie. I'm thinking of a stain and True Oil or Danish oil for the neck and fretboard -- forget painting the front of the headstock. Since I'll have to go with rattle can, I will look at other paint solutions including poly and clear coat. I just need to keep diving into it. Based on what I'm reading in the thread you recommended, the project could turn into a nightmare unless I get it right! Your reply helps a lot!
