Welcomr to the dark side!
By all means, find a dealer for Andrea or Vallejo paints, acrylics in eye dropper bottles. WIde range of colors and engineered for figure painters. Slightly differnt range but the same paint under different lables.
SInce I do primarily resin and metal figures, the adhessive, epoxy or Zap-A-Gap doubles as filler.
Figure painting is a lifetime leariing curve, but it's really a great part of the hobby. It's the one that the general public can appreiciate, because everyone knows what a person looks like, but most people can't tell if you done a great job or garbage on your Sherman and may not even recognize it as a Sherman, ;et alone an M4A3E8!
Do a search here, for figure painting hints and cruise around to places like Armoram.com, Planet Figure, Missing Lynks, and the Acrylicosvallejo.com and check out the tutorial under "Model COlor" in the drop down menu for great tips and articles.
