I want to paint my black EV Foam orange, so I understand I need to find primer. AI tells me Flex Paint, Hex Flex, or a similar flexible water-based sealer/primer is what I should aim for. Can anyone suggest where in Taipei I could find them?
Perplexity AI suggested:
- Shops near Shida Night Market (especially along 師大路83巷, Lane 83, #8), known as “Ba Da art supply,” are well-stocked and affordable.
- Stores in the Shilin district (e.g., Wenlin Rd. near Shilin MRT Exit 2) are also recommended.
- The Yonghe district has an “art supplies street” with several shops in close proximity.
- 大型美術社 (large art stores) near Zhongxiao Fuxing: There are several small but very well-stocked art craft shops just off this intersection.
- 誠品書店 (Eslite Bookstore) also has a stationery/art supplies floor where you might find suitable primers.
- 國泰美術社, 101文具天堂, 文生美術社, 小熊媽媽DIY: These are reviewed as top art supply stores in Taipei.
Ask specifically for “EVA泡棉底漆” (EVA Foam primer) or “彈性底漆” (flexible primer/sealer). Staff in these stores are familiar with cosplay and foam projects and can give you product recommendations.
