[DML] Re: Impact Absorber.

["Dave Swingle" <swingle@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've never seen any issue with just leaving it as it. It does not 
seem to be an open-cell foam. I've never seen the foam rot, and I've 
seen a lot of these cars apart now. 

I HAVE seen someone very effectively cover it with duct tape. 
Otherwise, just about any paint would do the job.
