Paint adherence issues to white Maker Foam

Never had a problem with the brown foam board but the new white Maker Foam is much more waxy/slippery/shiny. I do all of the same preps as before such as light sanding, using painters tape, etc. but when taping lines/strips/camo/etc. paint still lifts off the surface. I use Rustoleum 2x Primer and paint.

I’ve heard that people scuff it up with a green scouring pad before painting. I haven’t tried it yet but I will soon.

Make sure you give the paint plenty of time to dry before putting tape on it. Other than that it seems like your doing everything right.
