Oil and solvent based paints will cause the foam to break down slightly so keep that in mind. Some people actually use this to their advantage and use it as a way of introducing texture onto the carved foam. Obviously something you'd want to experiement with.

Otherwise, I don't have any experience painting foam so I'm not sure what is good and what should be avoided. Most people put a layer of cement or tile grout onto the carved foam.
