Acrylic and
enamel paints are safe for use on Gator Foam Board, but make
sure you test your paint on a section of scrap Gator Foam Board
first before applying paint to your model. Keep in mind that
paint solvents can destroy the foam core, so apply paint only to
the outer board layer. If you plan to paint the Gator Foam Board
surface, a good primer coat is recommended before you apply your
final paint coat. Gator Foam Board does not need any
special preparation before priming or painting. The
surface should be kept clean and free of any oil
contaminates as with any other surface to be painted. If the
surface has become lightly soiled or scratched, it may be hand
sanded with a silicon carbide dry paper 180 grit or finer. After
sanding, be sure to clean surface well to remove any dust
particles. |
