Here is a good thread for anyone giving it a try. I've done two. Use a wire brush to remove foam. Apply glue to both fiberboard and material. Allow it to set for a couple of minutes. Start from the middle and work outwards. Take your time. Leave enough overlap to glue the excess to the other side of the board which helps keep wind from tearing the foam away from the cloth.

Went to home depot with a plastic trim piece and they matched me a gallon of interior paint (might have been exterior, can't remember) Two coats was all it needed.
