I'm making some tombstones for my yard haunt made out of the 2" pink EPS foamboard.
I just picked up a gallon of Rosco Foamcoat. I saw it referenced in a previous post.
Should I coat it with the Foamcoat before I paint or after I paint?

FE posted it..
Im guessing since it is an off white matte color it is before you paint...or you can tint it first.

Yes before you paint.
Make sure to post some pics of your work.

Lilly & FE,
Thanks for your responses. Yes, now that I see Foamcoat is a white matte color, it makes sense to paint after the Foamcoat is applied. For some reason I was assuming it was clear.
I'll include some pics of my progress. I have about 5 tombstones already cut (using a hot-wire foam cutter). Next I'm going to engrave the epitaphs and start coating/painting.
Thanks again for the quick responses.
