True, I have never directly sealed the foam first with just straight poly, BUT...
I have Fibreglassed first using the poly as the resin and still have been caught out.
This only happened the first time I fibreglassed a model and it could well have been some error on my part. Still not a bad habit to check a small area first before spoiling a good wing or fuselage.
I'm not saying that your wrong because my old mustang was sprayed with White Knight Super Chrome fast drying enamel and the finish was great but again only after it had been f/g'ed.
Another spray can paint I've successfully used is the Tamiya Color paints for polycarbonates (the stuff you use on the clear plastic RC car bodies). My L39 is painted with that one. (Nice tough Glossy finish)
