I don't know where to find the .vtfΒ files for the models.

SFM: ..common\SourceFilmmaker\game\usermod\materials\models\VN_mlp\PONYNAME
Gmod: ..common\GarrysMod\garrysmod\addons\mlp_overhaul\materials\models\VN_mlp\PONYNAME
If you have more questions just ask

Okay, I have a strong feeling that I'm missing that... VN_mlp?
Also, my addons folder in Garrysmod is a bunch of .GMA files, no subfolders or anything.
There's a step I've skipped or a file I haven't downloaded, I'm sure of it.

Oh :/
Well yeah.. if you have your pony (or a pack) in GMA, than you have to extract it somehow. I don't know how can you do that, I worked with TF2 addon stuff only like this, but that use VPK files.
Try to search around how to extract GMA files.

Okay, I'll see what I can find out.
Thanks again!

After you export the .tga from vtfedit, open it with Photoshop/Gimp or something, and recolor it. Save the .tga, import it to vtfedit, and save on the .vtf tha you opened first.

How do you make the texture a separate skin that can be changed with the skin tool?

For that the model have to be complied again from the source files. :/

But here's an example: In the .qc file (the model complier uses that to put together a model) here's that part witch for the 3 eye skins:
$texturegroup skinfamilies {
{
"eyeball_l.vmt"
"eyeball_r.vmt"
}
{
"eyeball_l_medium.vmt"
"eyeball_r_medium.vmt"
}
{
"eyeball_l_small.vmt"
"eyeball_r_small.vmt"
}
}
