I don't think there are any differences between painting plastic or resin figures.
Most resin figures are far superior than their plastic counterparts... better cast with crisper details. If you take that in consideration, resin is probably "easier" to paint. I must admit I haven't looked at buying and painting plastic figures ever since I tried working with resin figures. As for SpecialOps stuff, I can speak about their figures and busts in superlatives only. You defintely won't be dissapointed if you decide to get the SEAL bust.
