looking for suggestions for foam safe paint. I was told certain type paints will eat the foam?
thanks

Krylon Short Cuts
Works great, comes in 3 oz cans. I find it at Ace or True Value I don't remember.
Paint is heavy remember.

As a side note, if you're looking for a good primer/filler to smooth out dents or fill the cells visible in foamies, Killz in the aerosol can works great. You can find it at home depot. It's a great filler, it's light and it sands really nice.

Have a look at Nelsons Paint, ie: Nelsons Hobby.Com. it is a water base and when applied correctly it is vary lite and thin about .005

Depends on the foam. Some foam can handle mild solvent paint like the kind sold for plastic models. But good old latex works fine and can even be bought as a spray can at ACE hardware stores. The small 8oz samples being sold by most paint stores are a great value.

+ 1 on that except for the weight and thickness.

Overall the best and easiest paint to use. Joann Fabrics and Michaels craft stores have them as well. Michaels also carries Liquitex paint, works fantastic as well. same price per ounce, but a larger can. Short cuts only have 8 colors I think (stay away from metalics on foam, they run), Liquitex has over 20. Krylon used to make H20 brand paints, but man they were horrible. Ran like crazy.
