    Hiya All,

    I am in need of how you all do those awesome paint jobs on the foamies! I am new to Phlatboyz and I have been just using regular paint. Does not do my models justice. I just learned about the Walmart finger paint and have tried it and like it better than model masters and the others. I see all those fancy paint jobs with the nice clean cut graphics and lines.....HOW IS THAT DONE EXACTLY???

    I would appreciate any and all help

    Hey Thanks Shaun...


    You might have seen my Paper Airplane on here. It is ONLY a beginning to my product line. I really need to find a printer that can go directly on foam but it seems nobody knows anything about that. I know it is done just look at eflite and the rest...


    I will check it out and thanks for the fast response!

    Dan, we had discussed this topic in the past. No one, so far, has a solution to printing with the PP except with a Sharpie. Ideas were tossed around about using an inkjet head and so on but no one, as far as I know, has done it.

    go to flying giants, foamy paint schemes, there are quite a few really good tutorials.

    Check out the local sign shops. Most will have large format printers, for printing vinyl. It aint cheap, even ''at cost''.
