Is there any types of spray paint that doesn't destroy foam. If you look at other posts of mine I have used foam extensively. And don't want to brush paint the whole lot. Thanks.

There may be a better solution but what I've always done is cover the terrain in spackle. It reinforces the foam and fills gaps so that its much more durable but then it will also take spray paint without dissolving the foam. Its an extra step but I personally would rather do that than hand paint everything!

There are acrylic sprays that are safe on foam. They can be tricky to find, though... try craft stores, or hardware stores that have a good-sized spray paint range. They'll usually have at least a small range of them.

Krylon's H20 is foam-safe.

More found in craft shops than hardware stores.

Spray paint for flower arrangements is foam safe.

You can use whatever spray you like, it's all about technique.
TEST ON SCRAPS FIRST YMMV.
