Jess,One-Shot should be available wherever you are.Its enamel for cars,so Auto paint suppliers,online there a many sources . Its easy to get vs. the V-color pain in the ass to get situation.

Acrylic thinned with water(duh) is cheap and good for practice and you can clean with water
But get a real brush Mack Swords are Killer only 12-15 $....the Big Daddys Roths are good too.

The Sabio pencil is great for laying out designs

Acrylic/ V-color/ Airbrush paints in general are better for Vinyl (I imagine Cronic uses V-color) and One shot for on top of auto paint,over Enamel,chrome,metal ect.
Im not sure if the Japanese toy vinyl is enamel receptive?
A couple shots of your favorite Hooch or ......smoke (been listening to Cab Callaway!) & good pinky balance and breathing technique are key to start.
Go to a RatRod show : Rumblers NYC & National,PunkRods KC,Shifters SoCal Roadrats NY,Road Agents,Coffin Draggers,Thrill Kills,DC Demons ect...not a trailer queen show and usually there will be Stripers working you can learn a lot about technique just by watching for a few minutes.The stripers at these shows are usually cool and willing to talk,Ive met some real snobs at the few Custom/Trailer Queen shows I have been to.
Whiskey will let me give her a Kiss but DevilDoll would clock me.... !!! LOL!!!
Best of Luck Jess ,E
