Hey now,
I've got several different Multiplex electric models made from
elapor, I just painted them with standard rattle can enamels.
Works fine; the solvent doesn't hurt the foam at all.
Um, there can be some problems with adhesion, they use a powerful mold
release, so you need to wipe the whole thing down with acetone, alcahol or
something like that. Me? I sand all the silly bumps off and give it a
quick wipe over with some acetone on a rag, and spray. Good luck.
