Quote:www.fxwarehouse.com is in Florida....BTW, Krylon makes some water-based spray paint safe to use on styrofoam. It\'s called H2O.
They have latex.
Or you can go old school and mix up some paper mache.
Here are some recipes: [url=\"http://familycrafts.about.com/cs/papermache/a/blpmpastes.htm\"]paper mache[/url]

You can pick it up at Walmart.

Both Hobby Lobby and Micheal\'s Hobby sell spray paint that is designed for use on styrofoam. I can\'t remember the brand name off hand, but I will post it when I got it

Great! I\'m heading to Michael\'s today to pick up some perma-wet alternatives...hopefully you\'ll get the name in the next few hours.

if you are looking for permawet alternatives...try modge podge..i have used it on masks and stuff in the past to get a really shiny wet look...just make sure you get the gloss version...

I already told him to go grab some Mod Podge. Hehe
"Design Master" is the brand of paint I was thinking of. Tell the clerk you are looking for Design Master Floral Spraypaints

Thanks to both of you! I had just PMd Tommy about how you also mentioned mod podge.
:wink:
I\'m anxious to get this stuff and try it out.

great minds thing alike i guess...or deranged minds..in this case they both apply. In respect to the design masters paints...just be sure to get a couple of cans. I have used them in the past and you do not get nearly as thick of a coat as you do with conventional spray paint.
