After doing rough shaping with the knives and razor cutters, I used my vintage Bridgeport USA / Holt Tool, Quad Fluted Screwdriver. An old, vintage 4-prong security bolt tool: exceptionally useful for roughing up foam into asteroid surface texture.
To cut down on the mess and resulting cleanup of foam bits and fragments going everywhere, I keep a wetted paper towel nearby to wipe the foam with. Doing this periodically during the texturing process allows me to eliminate a lot of the static, which lets the residue drop neatly into a waiting trashcan.
Next, I started painting with Stynylrez Grey Primer; it has great coverage even with the sponge craft brush I used to dab it into the foam.
