  Foamboard Painting

  Posted by Dave Bruce on 16 March 2004 at 11:06

  Just wondering what you guys use to paint the edge of foamboard?

  I used to use screen ink (in my old job) but would like to keep clear of that due to cost and not too good a finish. I was thinking of the Plasticote spray paint, anyone used that?

  Your thoughts please

  Cheers

  Dave

  I’ve got a few cans of plastikote but I don’t like them at all
  Very poor coverage. I believe it requires a base coat to have a real effect.

  Theres a company called Karnaval Coatings that do a cracking stuff that can be purchased in spray cans and litres for compressor spraying
  Doesn’t need a base coat and has a really durable finish. They normally use this stuff to spray PVC doors and windows etc.

  So this stuff can be used directly onto foamboard for a more professional finish
