Painting plexiglas
 

Hi oh wise ones

Q time, I have some plexiglas that I want to use as a pit board so Id like to paint some stuff on it.

Whats going to work well and hold well?
Im looking at painting on the underside and thinking a book cover film or a clear coat of something.

Will flaskolor work?
Normal non rc specific spray can paints?

Thanks

Paint n seal as you would a shell.
For added protection you can sandwich the paint with a thin sheet of the same material or acrylic etc to the bottom
Or attach rubber feet to the bottom to raise the painted surface off the ground

what jon said
paint seal and cover with vinyl

I did one not so long ago.

I sprayed it just like a shell, Few layers of clear coat, I left it a few days to cure. They stuck a piece of white vinyl on the bottom.

Reading that I may have rushed mine but I have more plexiglas so Ill try more stuff later
Heres the first one
