Coloring Foam Popper Heads

[troutbum421 0]

I bought a pack of white foam popper heads that I plan on tying pike flies with. I was wondering if using an airbrush to paint the heads would work. Would the paint stay on?

works great if you rough them up a bit with 400 grit sand paper and finish coat them with flex seal

Give the foam a first coat with flex seal or a clear acrylic based paint. Then hit them with the color, and seal the paint with the clear stuff.

 

Also, wash your hands before handling them. Dirt & finger oils can affect the paint.
