After insulating a pole barn or any other exposed surface with spray foam, one may wonder if the foam can be painted for better esthetic value. The answer is yes, spray foam can be painted which helps brighten up a room and match with the décor.
Additionally, any color dye can be added to the spray foam before it is applied. Just let our team of certified technicians know what color you would like the foam to be and we can mix in the dye before the application.
Wait 24 hours after spray foam is applied to begin painting it. This allows the fumes to dissipate and time for the foam to settle.
Using a paint sprayer evenly coats the spray foam whereas brushes and rollers miss spots within the uneven gaps.
The painting job is completed exponentially faster by using a paint sprayer vs trying to patch in any uneven groove with a brush or roller.
Latex or water-based acrylic paints are advised for application on spray foam insulation. The color in acrylic paint holds much longer than an oil based paint.
Applying semi-gloss or flat paint is preferable as the lesser amount of hides any irregular areas of the foam. Using a high gloss paint accentuates any divots.
