Default user friendly paints for "foamies"

I just had a bad experience try to paint a foam repair using KRYLON.
Any suggestions on user friendly paints...I will use an air brush to repait a few of my "weathered" planes..
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Latex paint will work. Just about anything made with petroleum products will attack foam. You can get a small can of Latex at Home Depot for about 4 bucks and they will mix it into any color you want. If your plane is gas, you will need to clear coat it. Good Luck, Dave

Model Master acrylic paints work great. They are water base paints. They won't harm foam.
