Trick from back in the day. Take two knife bits, either two scalpel blades or two fresh but broke off sections of stanley knife (boxcutter iirc) blades and glue them to a piece of whatever material you are building with. In this case, foam core. That twin bladed bit of foamcore will now, when using a steel rule, cut an absolutely perfect strip of paper the precise width of that foam core. Which means you can very, very quickly repaper the exposed foam edges, making it WAY easier to paint black. Also, if the paper you are cutting IS black (or grey or whatever) you won't even need to do that.
