Coloring Plexiglass

eascarface · 14-May-06, 09:29 PM

Ok sorry for not being on for a while but its been a really busy week.
Anyways over the course of the week Ive decided that:
A. I really want to build my own case
B. Building it out of plexiglass seems to be far easier than building it out of metal and cheaper as well.

Ive looked around a little this weekend and the local Home Depot has some clear 3/16" Lexan for cheap. However I dont want to do just a clear case as thats really kind of bland. Ive found some black smoked acrilyic online but its fairly expensive. I can afford it if neccesary but was wondering if it would be worth it to try doing it myself. Thanks

Well what you could use is Tail Light Tint Spray,I know thats cheap,And then you just spray over it once and keep doing it untill you get the right effect,depends weither you want it dark or light,Probly easyer and cheaper to do it this way than getting it pre done
