i didnt want it to match, now the painted ports and inside will stand out more behind the plexi

its getting there slowly... if only i had more free time but heres what i did in a few hours i had at night when the wife was working.

so i had some old scrached up plexiglass laying around, so for fun i deceided to try something thinking it would be a total flop, but i think it turned out pretty **** sweet. what i did was 2 rown of painters green tape on the back side of the plexi, then i printed out letters off my computer and taped it over top of the green tape, then using a blade i free handed and cut out all the letters. I bought a sandblasting gun on my way home yesterday and a bag of sand , took me 3 hrs to sandblast till i found my method and heres the final result, just going to drill the holes and screw it to the box for a temp window till i get some 3/4 lexan, and then ill get a sign shop to cut me a decal so the lettering looks a bit better, but it looks ok for now. Sorry for the pics, i cut out half the lettering because i dont want to advertise on here (plus im not sure what the rules is on that anyways) but you get the idea
