GOLD Acrylic Paint for Polystyrene

The safe choice for polystyrene (EPS/XPS, Styrofoam).

This water-based acrylic paint does not attack or deform polystyrene, adheres very well, and dries quickly—perfect for models, dioramas, signs, and decoration.

Its metallic finish enhances the color with elegant reflections and helps hide small surface imperfections.

Why you’ll love it:

• Polystyrene-friendly: water-based formula, no harsh solvents; won’t “eat” or melt the material.
• Fast drying: work in layers in minutes and progress your projects without waiting.
• Intense, even color: vibrant color with excellent opacity.
• Metallic finish: bright and decorative look, easy to clean, with luminous reflections that add depth to the color.
• Versatile: works great on polystyrene and also paper, cardboard, wood, plaster, fabric, stone, and primed surfaces.

Made with acrylic resin in aqueous emulsion.

Dries by water evaporation, forming a durable, flexible plastic film.

Can be diluted and cleaned with water (before drying), low odor, allows glazing or impasto effects depending on amount applied.

This paint’s metallic finish provides a bright and decorative shine:

• Visual benefits: intensifies color and adds metallic reflections that enhance polystyrene surfaces.
• Practical benefits: good durability and easy cleaning, ideal for decorative pieces.

Touch: smooth, silky surface, not sticky.

How to use on polystyrene:

1. Clean dust from the material. For very smooth pieces, lightly sand with fine grit.

2. First thin coat: apply with soft brush or foam roller. Let dry.

3. Subsequent coats: two or three thin layers cover better than one thick.

4. Dilute for glazing effects (a few drops of water). For sharp edges, use undiluted.

5. Optional sealing: for heavily handled pieces, finish with water-based satin acrylic varnish.
