Painting Foam:
If you want to paint your SLEDG, it is usually best to dress it up before assembly of the
kit. Be mindful of the paint you intend to use. Most spray paints are not foam safe and if
you use the wrong paints, your foam will transform from a solid to a liquid in relatively
short period of time. There are several paints available that are foam safe. Here are a few:
1. Testors Model Car Spray Paint
2. Tamiya Model Car Spray Paint
3. Krylon Short Cuts
4. Foam Spray Paint from your local arts & crafts store
5. Most airbrushed acrylics
You can create masks from thin posterboard and other materials that will allow you to
create cool effects. If you are interested in learning more about techniques for painting
