You can use any paint that is diluted with Turpentine.
Growing old is mandatory, growing up is optional!

Fevicryl is a water based acrylic paint (you can clean the brush and your hands with water too  ;D)

It doesn't etch anything, and dries to become waterproof!

Cheap too :D

Stationery Shop. You can get a box of 12 bottles (different colours) for Rs. 170. Loose also available.

See:  http://www.himalayafineart.com/Product/153/Fevicryl+Acrylic+Colors.aspx

If weight is not an issue, you may also try fabric colours.
It is the pervading law of all things organic and inorganic,
Of all things physical and metaphysical,
Of all things human and all things super-human,
Of all true manifestations of the head,
Of the heart, of the soul,
That the life is recognizable in its expression,
That form ever follows function. This is the law.

A technique that i used to color and strengthen some objects was epoxy, if you are reinforcing your plane with epoxy and fiber then just mix acrylic color or soft/hard pastel powder of desired color with it, i have done this with araldite ;D.
Build planes like feathers rather than tanks, both handle bullets equally well.

It is the propellant used in these spray cans that eats into the foam. You need to spray it on the foam from a distance of about 1'. I have successfully used the readily available spray paint cans (Bosini brand I think) for painting foam with this technique. It will need a little practice though. Hope this helps.

You should try water-base spray!
