Advice on Painting a Gonzo Replica Puppet

[Muppetlab]

I have spent the last few days carving a head and nose for a Gonzo build. I am using a white foam.

My question is about painting the foam.. What paints will work or is dying it an option?

It is typically airbrushed.

Thanks.. Im going to try floral spray paint. This seems to be good for foam.

My nose so far-

Not sure what foam it is.. I saw a block of it in my local foam store and it looked good for carving. Its quite a hard foam but the PPI is similar to that of upholstery foam
