This is the paint that it widely used by puppeteers. It is primarily used in the floral business but works great on foam and manufactured by Design Master

I don't recommend hardware type acrylic paint.....It makes the foam hard and will sometimes damage the foam. You can also use rit dye

Here are rit dye colors and dye recipe formulas

Fluorescent paints are also available and are used on foam

Hope this helps

thanks these look good

There is a thread here somewhere about foam dyes. I just dyed some foam to make it fluoresce. Worked pretty well.

for block/filter foam, you can airbrush. for foam latex, use pax paint.

I have a video on dying foam in my Youtube channel just click the Utube button under my avatar and somewhere it will be listed....titled "dying foam."
