[QUOTE="Drack, post: 3621955, member: 37498"] Hey thought I'd add some info for you. Saw the mention of gesso vs plastidip. Gesso is basicaly a thick acrylic. Might look good but compared to plastidip it doesn't even begin to compete. Plastidip holds fast to foam, the foam doesn't soak it up but it will self level so can be painted on. Gesso will wear off much easier than the pastidip. I used 2 thin coats of plastidip on all my foam suits and it worked perfectly. I use Gesso for my worbla build but that's because its solid. Just thought I'd save you trying them both cause they will both give the same appearance but with out a field test you won't see how they do at wear and tear. [/QUOTE]
