Paint for Foam pre-paint

[Idiot Savant]

Confused? Me too....haha

Anyway, what is a good paint prep material for using on pink insulation foam; a pre-paint layer to protect the foam and main paint.

This is my first time using foam for projects (the Hall of Justice) and I want to make sure I get it right the first time.

Any and all help is appreciated...

I don't really know but a lot of people use that Dupli color stuff spray. It might work primer and paint and would save tons of time. Just a theory for now though.

Thanks Tony, I'll have to check into it

Primer....that's the word I was blanking on...guess old age is starting a little too early

Hey Savant, if you can get a hold of this stuff, Mod Podge, it's the best thing to seal the foam before you even prime it and paint it. It seals up the porous surface. It's the tried and true item that hobby foam fiddlers swear by pre-paint.

Seconded on Mod Podge. I actually had chemical separation on my paints when I tried just painting foam without it.

Thanks a ton guys...gonna need to buy stock in that due to all the foam I'm buying

Not to mention stock in foam companies too
