Painting a Pine guitar

[cambolt]

My pine stratocaster project is almost ready for the painting stage. It is made out of two pieces of furniture grade clear pine. I'm looking to paint it white (close to fender's arctic white), however the recommended spray paint brand for this sort of stuff (duplicolor) is not available here in Australia. Does anyone know if there are any alternatives available? Also, is there any special preparation required for pine?
Thanks very much
