What kind of paint to use on shiny acoustic guitar...(acrylic- like finish on childs guitar?
First make sure that any paint you use is lead-free - always a safe bet where children are concerned..
Second, lightly rub the whole surface with 600 - 1000 grit wet and dry carborundum paper (very fine 'sand' paper) as this will key the surface and allow the paint to take. Most motor factors / diy stores will sell this. Use water to keep the paper from clogging and minimise the fine dust that might irritate your nasal passages.
Since you are covering it with a hard polyurethane finish, this dull surface will help to hold onto the polyurethane and it will come up like new with the floral design underneath after the poly dries.
It would be better to do the whole surface rather than just the part on which you want to paint as it will give a more uniform look.
Good Luck, what a lovely idea!
