Glass microspheres(micro ballons) and paint

Hey everyone.

I’m going to try using glass bubbles/spheres on one of the boards I’m shaping right now. (EPS with stringer)

Can I paint some color or graphics right onto it, and then laminate over that?

I’ve checked the archives on painting and microspheres could not find anything relevant.

Any other tips for using this stuff?

I’ve sealed blanks with microballoon slurry, let it cure, then painted over it. The paint seems to cover better using less, and then glassing over it is no problem. Go for it without fear.
