Before you paint EVA foam, you MUST seal it it plasti-dip. Any sealant that does not melt foam will work too. If you don't seal the foam, the foam will act as a sponge and soaks any paint you throw at it. Plus foam will bend and will crack the paint. I used Plasti-Dip and it worked really well. As for type of paints, automotive spray paint works best.

The correct color is "Oregano Green".

Painting is the action of applying paint on the surface. Weathering comes next. You basically use a "wash" or "dry brushing" to age the paint. Search YouTube on these 2 techniques. If you don't use weathering, the armor will look like a new recruit off the production line. Weathering will make a veteran Spartan shine.

Thank you CoolC for the first time I'm not invisible on this forum! Next question; is it better to paint on the plasti-dip or get the spray stuff?

I know how you feel. Nowadays I see a lot more noobs showing off their work than veterans sticking around to help new members. At least you follow the rules and ask your question in the right stickies.

And to your question, I can only speak from my experience. I used the spray stuff. It worked really well but the spray plasti-dip is more expensive.
