I've been slowly working on finishing a kit guitar. My plans for finishing are using purple transtint for the top and dark vintage maple for the sides and back. I'd like to do a thin faux binding, mainly to hide some glue lines from too much veneer glue I was planning on using behlen vinyl sealer before spraying behlen nitro. For the fake binding, I was thinking of an off white paint but I don't know if I should do it over or under the vinyl sealer and don't know if I should use an latex or oil. Any suggestions?

Your painted bindings should go over the sealer. Latex will not work, oil is a maybe. It would be best to do them with a lacquer. You can easily tint a small amount of your own by adding a pigment to some clear lacquer. I use Mixol pigments, you can get them at Woodcraft. Another option may be to use Testors model paint, but that should be tested for compatibility first.
