Tom, Get some stuff called One Step from DAP. Should be available at any good do it yourself store. Mix in more water to make it the consistency of thick syrup and then paint it on over the area you are wanting to add the trim color to. Wipe off any excess and then let it dry to a nice haze and then sand off. It makes a really nice pin hole filler and will not attack the foam. When painting use light thin coats dusted on and you should not have any problem with bleading through anywhere. Once you have a couple of light coats on go ahead and put your final gloss coat on. If you have any questions let me know and I will try to help further.
