Do not sand, do not sand do not sand. Now, second piece of the advice. Use glass, use glass, use glass. I paints better, doesn't scratch as easily, and comes out with a MUCH better finish once painted. And if you mess up, then you can remove the excess paint with a razor blade. |

use Krylon fusion paint. It is designed for plastic. http://www.dickblick.com/zz014/11/products.asp?param=0&ig_id=6372 |

If you're recommending something that isn't considered authentic, I'd bet that the reason is pretty important. Thanks for the advice. |
