A water based enamel.
Water based paints or acrylic craft paints are the best to use on Styrofoam. Water based paints, specifically poster paints, work well with younger kids as they can get a really good and thick coverage of paint on the polystyrene shape.
Not a good idea.
If your gloss white is good quality, then a single coat should cover a grey primer.
A clear coat or more depending on what you have painted. This will chip the clear coat not your colour coat. For best protection a two pack clear that when cured ends up as hard as nails to protect the finished products colour from damage. It also will chip but gives a good protection for the colour coat. !
Styrofoam, along with most other expanded plastics, is a very poor insulator of heat and electricity, thereby making a foam coffee cup a very good insulator.
Because Styrofoam contains many tiny pockets of air it is a good insulating material. Heat transfer is hindered because the molecules are not able to move around much because of the millions of little air pockets.
No
Yes, styrofoam is full of air cells and air is a good thermal insulator. Styrofoam has poor solvent resistance, and poor hot performance.
Styrofoam, also known as expanded polystyrene, is a good insulator because it is composed of 98% air, which reduces heat transfer through conduction. The material's structure traps pockets of air, slowing down the movement of heat. Additionally, Styrofoam is lightweight and resistant to moisture, making it an effective insulator for various applications.
Styrofoam is excellent
No, Styrofoam is not a good electrical conductor because it is an insulator. This means it does not allow electric current to flow easily through it.
Styrofoam is a very porous material; air from the closed pores has a bad thermal conductivity.

It's cheap, it's easy to put up, it has a good paintable surface.
To keep cold food cold or hot food hot. Styrofoam is very good insulation.
