Default What Paint?

What kind of paint are you guys using to paint your foamies? My dad and I are planning on starting to cut out our own foamies and we want to know what kind of paint is foam safe and stuff.( We want to actually use our new airbrush too)

Default Re: What Paint?

krylon "short cuts" avaiable at most hardware stores or Tamiya paints available at your LHS
For airbrushing I use createx auto air, you can find it at most craft stores

createx - YES but add the flex agent.
Its also available at craft stores.
Also, you may want to thin it a bit with H2O.
But the flex agent adds flex and adhesion to foam and plastic surfaces.
