plexi question

[bryce-man 10+ year member]

i didnt know where to put this ...i thought this would do

i was wondering if the only time spray paint stays on plexi is if you sand/etch it first

.. does it just wipe off the flat untouched part easily... dry or wet

and another

can you sand one side of the plexi and spray it a certain color to reflect

and then sand the back side and drench it in black paint .. as to not let light out of the back side

or just some how affixe a piece of aluminum to the back...

.. using leds by the way

if you can direct me to a place that you use for leds for cheap thatd be cool

.. or is radio shak the best best lol

thanks for the help

you have to sand it in order to have a good bond between the paint and the plexi. idk if it will just whipe off wet or dry, but i doubt it.

i dont really understand the rest of the questions.

my buddy made a guage cluster in his fox body out of plexi and autometer guages. He painted the back side of it black. it was clean as hell. I'm not sure if he sanded it down or not. I will have to check with him.
