Animation cell paints are pretty good for painting Resin casts too. You can also use Acitone to clean off the resin once ya pull the pieces out of the mold. Dries almost instantly and then you're good to go for painting.
hope it helps. Lookin forward to seeing your stuff.

..i find that cell paints tend to dry to quickly and leave brush marks and gummy up the surface...which is probably why they were invented specifically for animation......and though acetone may work, it is an extremely deadly chemical to work with...especially the fumes, if you are standing over them while you clean the parts.......i suggested simple green cause it really won't harm you and prolonged exposure won't hurt you either...i think it's even environmentally safe as well. but importantly, it does the job.

no disrespect for your suggestions but i thought i'd better chime in.....
