Default 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

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.
