Hey MK,
When painting clear resin (and you want it to maintain a translucent or semi-translucent feel), prime the piece with Testors Dullcote. This will fog your clear resin parts, but once the sheen from the transparent paints is applied over, the fog will fade away. You can still paint opaque paints over it too, it just depends on the effect you are going for.
With regards to colored resin, I just treat that like any other resin. Just prime and paint away.

Hey Fenix,
The 18/0 is thinner than a 00
