HELP! Will spray paint cause any problems with a woodburning tool?

So, I'm making an Axe prop for a film project out of EVA Foam floor mats. I assembled it, dremeled it, and painted it using 2 coats of Spray paint. After that, I realized I forgot to burn the emblems into the axe head. I need to do it with a woodburning pen, But, would the spray paint like, explode or anything? I don't care if I have to repaint it, I just want to stay safe and Ideally don't want to have to remake the Axe
 
No... Just don't do it in a closet with the door closed. ;)

In other words, it'll stink and you won't want to breathe it, so do it outside and wear a respirator if you feel the need.

That's right: melting foam + melting paint = lots of noxious/poisonous fumes!...but no fire nor explosions of any kind;) Good luck!
 
Definitely wear a ventilator or at least do it outside. I did something similar recently and the fumes are serious poison. Depending on the paint you used, there may be some light fire type edging, but it shouldn't ignite.
