If you're using foamcore, and one side is mostly paint-covered and the other is not, and some rain gets on it, it will warp a bit. Not so much as to be ugly, though. A way to prevent this is to make all your foam-core signs double-sided if you think you might use them in the rain, and try to have roughly equal paint coverage on each side.
