requesting tips on painting resin busts

[Daric LaRone]

Greetings fellow RPFers! I've been building 501st Legion screen quality Star Wars costumes for several years now and have recently expanded my hobby to other movie genres (Harry Potter, Iron Man, The Dark Knight). I love displaying my current costumes on PVC mannequins I've made myself and I've decided to go one step further and try my hand at painting busts for display costumes of "face characters".
I do plan to research this section of the RPF for guidance but thought I'd go ahead and post here to start getting hints on painting resin busts, and hopefully post progress pics. So, what type of paint works best on resin? And are there some "basic colors" I need to start looking for to achieve the skin tones I want? Thanks for any advice.
