This is a really great built. Your suit is going to be epic. :)

Are you just spray painting the foam?

(love your nerf conversion)
 
Thanks dude!

And as far as painting goes...
I WAS spraying with Plasti-Dip, THEN painting them.
I did a test yesterday with just black spray paint, and the EVA Foam doesn't seem to eat the paint.
So I MIGHT just be using spray paint from now on...



Mini Update:
1 1/2 shins are done :D
Chest attachment done!
Any ideas on what parts I should make next?

(PS, both the times of my first post & this post are purley coincidental, yet hilarious!)
 
I say go with the shoulders next.

I was going to give the plasti dip a try, but I might have to experiment with just the paint now. Thanks. :)
 
Sorry for double post but,

UPDATE


Okay, ive done numerus tests and...EVA foam floor mats do not eat paint,
it only takes a few coats, and it looks fine, no need for plasti-dip! Well, thats for me, might be different for you.
