Has Anyone Painted the Foam on their Bindings?

Hey guys I was wondering if anyone has any experience with painting bindings, specifically the foam bits on the base and high backs. I'm not terribly worried about the paint chipping off after a year or so, but more worried about some paints eating away at the foam (I have just purchased a cheap used board off a friend so I am open for experimentation).

Any responses are appreciated! Cheers!

That's an idea, but I'd be worried about leaving streaks using those. I think a spray would give a nicer even coat at the end of the day. I've been reading about using some water based or acrylic primers as a base coat, and then using my desired spray paint colour on top.

But everything I have been reading does not pertain particularily to snowboard binding foam haha. It would be helpful to know what kind of foam is used specifically on bindings....

Awesome! Very helpful.

Apparently a lot of cosplayers have this question about painting their foam costumes (?), so I've found that these people use:

-Plastidip (some sort of primer/sealer)
-Water based or Latex spray paints! (such as Krylon H2O)

Thanks Mizu, and i'll try to remember to post my results in a few weeks. Still open to more opinions for now!
