You can get foam safe paints at the hobby store.

Just to add on to this. Are there any foam safe paints I can get from a hardware store? Say Canadian Tire or Home Hardware. I'm just picked up a GWS Zero but forgot to buy some paint for it.

Ok, I did some checking on another RC forum. Brand name is Krylon. You can get it at Canadian Tire and Wal-Mart. You will get it for sure at Canadian Tire. They have a special craft paint that comes in small aerosol cans. Works great. Nice looking colours. Just waiting for mine to dry. I think it's $3.50 which isn't cheap but it's less than what you'd pay at the hobby store.

I've finished painting. One can was enough to do the whole plane. Only one coat was needed. I don't have my digital camera on hand so I can't take some shots right now.
