Beginning Leather Paint Questions

[superpacker]

I know there are some great leather painters out there, so wanted to get some tips before starting. My main question is whether any type of acrylic paint will work? I'd like to paint on some small leather items , but I'm only making a few, and don't intend to do lots of painting on each piece either, so I only need a minimal amount of paint in a few colors. So I was curious if specialty paints are needed? Also, is there anything needed to seal the paint? Would a coat of resolene do? Below is an example of the extent I'm looking to paint (not the lettering) - essentially a few stripes in a few colors, I was inspired by the color touches to the still very present and very nice safiano leather, and thought I'd try a similar approach elsewhere.
