So..I bought black contact paper (shelf Paper) and it worked great. The glue stuck well and can probably be removed. It was placed on the back and the glue is transparent unless you look very close with a detail light. Good enough.

out of curiosity, please explain how it was a failure?
i both spray painted and used a foam roller to paint the backsides of plexi. i used some contact cleaner to remove any oily residue before painting and it worked out great.
btw your cab is coming together and looking fantastic!

I bought what I thought was good spray paint and cleaned the glass with thinners and then alcohol and the paint had no adhearance. Have you painted glass before? Maybe plexi has a slighly more porous surface. There is paint that is specifically made for glass. But I only found it in small quantities for art.
maybe I should have used contact cleaner.
