Help Armor coating

I´m currently working on a Game of Thrones inspired Foam armour. For The breast Plate i used eva foam floor mats and for the details craft foam. Now after everything is glued together all the parts do look to much as if the were well just glued together. My question is if anyone has an idea how to coat my armour to create a more homogene surface.
Since i´m from Austria and a lot of foreign brands are not available here i would apreciate if you could give me "scientific terms" instead of brand names for materials. (like pvc plate instead of sintra)

Thx
 
I might add that i´m not a big fan of overly toxic substances so i´m not into bondo and stuff like that. Furthermore most of the things used around here to seal foam like plasti dip or LET are very hard to get here where i´m from
 
I've tried covering seams with plastidip. It takes a LOT of coats to get anywhere near covering even a little seam, let alone a big one. I wouldn't recommend it for this. I've heard of people using silicone caulk, but make sure you get the right kind (I'm not sure which it is, but I know there's a wrong kind).
 
Thx, I already tried PVA on another piece i made and it took a lot of coats to get near to the result i was hoping for and in the end after i painted it with acrylic paint there were cracs and wrinkles wherever the material bent a little.. Maybe i messed up... It was the first real piece i made. Can anyone tell me how to do it right ?
