How can Foam Insulation be Painted?
A painter had discussed the process with my friend in detail. So let me share what he informed me to follow:
First, the foam surface needs to be cleaned to get rid of dust, dirt, and any contaminants.
Then a primer specifically designed for foam insulation needs to be applied to the foam insulating area. It will help to enhance adhesion and prevent paint absorption.
Make sure to choose a paint that is compatible with foam insulation; latex or acrylic paints are commonly used.
Use a brush or spray gun to apply the paint evenly over the primed surface.
Allow enough drying time for the paint to ensure proper finish and durability
You can apply a few more coats of paint if you want as well. So this is how can you paint on foam board.

Yes, styrofoam can be painted but its better to use acrylic paint as it adheres better to its surface. Styrofoam is porous so apply a few coats of paint to cover it well.
