A few products that work great for coating polystyrene and can be found in most building supply stores are:
Stucco
Plaster of Paris
Latex Rubber
Drywall Mud
Polyurethane Coating (we will be offering this product soon)
Paper Mache
Elmer's Glue
Mod Podge
If you want a more "rock" like surface, a 50/50 (give or take) blend of a latex primer and plaster joint compound rolled on will get a real hard coating.
Refrain from using aerosol or anything that contains high levels of VOC directly on polystyrene. Chemicals can break down/ dissolve polystyrene. Kilz® Max Water-Based Primer contains low VOC and makes a great primer when prepping your polystyrene surface for a coating. It will help strengthen the surface and will allow your hardcoating to adhere better.
