Strip: painting a deck pattern

Hi All,
I'm planning on painting a pattern on the deck of my Cirrus hybrid. the pattern will be flanked either side with different colour timbers so I don't want the pattern to look like it is floating above timber. Therefore, I'm expecting that I will need to paint the pattern prior to glass and filling.
The process bouncing around in my head goes like this:
1. Seal coat
2. Paint pattern
3. Glass and fill
Can anybody see any flaws with this process?
Should paint for the pattern be acrylic or enamel?
Cheers
