can you coat epp foam will a product like plasticote, the stuff that is sold at hardware stores to coat things like the handles of your metal pliers? There is the thick stuff the you dip things into it and there is a spray can type.

Use xylene to thin shoe goo and add acrylic hobby paint to mix in for color.Mix to the consistancy of honey or slightly thinner.Use a 99 cent brush to apply.This is so tuff it is awesome.Here is some pics of my rubber raider Done this way on the bottom.Plasicoat is whipmpy compared to this.
