You will want to use an acryllic water based paint. If your are airbrushing or spraying the paint on your blank, most surfboard and fiberglass supply places should have the right paint. If you are not sure you can always apply a little test paint to a small piece of scrap surfboard blank foam, and apply some resin and see how the paint reacts with the resin. Good luck!
