How to paint foamex/sintra

Post by ssmith43654 »

I am making a xbox 360 laptop and I am making it out of sintra/foamex as benheck suggests.
Does anyone know if spray paint will work on it or do you think I need something else?
Here is the link to the spray paint I was planning on getting:

Thanks

I believe Krylon Fusion spray paint is the best because it actually bonds with the material making it hard to chip off.

will the other spray paint i suggested work though - will it go onto the plastic fine - it says it goes on to plastic. The krylon paint is hard to find and costs a lot - i live in the uk.
