Title: Re: suitable paint for foam (thermocol) ???? Post by: sanjayrai55 on June 16, 2013, 08:51:49 PM Fevicryl is a water based acrylic paint (you can clean the brush and your hands with water too ;D)
It doesn't etch anything, and dries to become waterproof! Cheap too :D Title: Re: suitable paint for foam (thermocol) ???? Post by: Nithinraj Kotian on June 16, 2013, 10:23:22 PM @ sanjay sir, in which store will get Fevicryl paint???

Post by: RCNeil21 on June 17, 2013, 10:30:20 AM A technique that i used to color and strengthen some objects was epoxy, if you are reinforcing your plane with epoxy and fiber then just mix acrylic color or soft/hard pastel powder of desired color with it, i have done this with araldite ;D.

You need to spray it on the foam from a distance of about 1'. I have successfully used the readily available spray paint cans (Bosini brand I think) for painting foam with this technique. It will need a little practice though. Hope this helps.
