Hey guys, any one know what type of spray paint I can use on EPO foam planes. Something that I can get at a local store? Any help would be appreciated thanks. Dwayne

I've had good luck with Krylon, Rust-oleum, Valspar, ACE Hardware brand and Testors model spray paints. The real trick is getting the paint to stay on the foam. Make sure it is a clean as you can get it. I wipe EPO foam clean with acetone before painting. If you don't have acetone, clean the foam with rubbing alcohol.

I found, and I've stated it before, that if you put a coat of Varathane or Minwax on the plane, then rub it off with a rag, it removes the oil residue that the molds leave behind. I've done this on every plane that had any white/bare surfaces and it works great. Just rub it like you're polishing a shoe, let it dry and you're good to go.
Pandora One is down with Acrylic Enamel that I picked up in the craft section of Wally world. Pandora Two was painted with Rustoleum Painter Touch Ultra Cover and Primer which worked well.

Krylon now makes a Foam Primer, even has an airplane on the label...I've used it and it works great to seal bare areas and fills in the cell lines.
