I'm definitely not the one to ask, but I do want this to stay up in the list so I can see the answers.

I only do simple recolors and mods, so GIMP fits my needs at this point.

Import the parts pages in Gimp or CorelDRAW / InkScape and paint them according to your needs. Use the *.pdo for reference to see the final position of the parts and make good use of guide lines in your graphic program.

You may also assemble a white prototype, apply the new skin with water colours, felt-tips or pencils, unfold the model again, scan the coloured parts, trace the new texture in Gimp or Corel / Inkscape to colour the digital templates from paper-replika and then print and assemble the cleaned-up version.
