I gues you are missing something :P . He asked for "black and light blocking". I wonder what the application will be though ...

Brad Lee:
THats how I interpreted it, as light-blocking black opaque plexi. Ive seen it for sale on sites like McMaster-Carr and other materials sites, but never in person at a home depot for example.

Tinted plexi ive seen at stores, and that would seem a bit more common at a hardware/home store

(heck i just took a quick look at mcmaster.com and you can get sheets in opaque  Black      Blue      Gray      Green      Red      White  &    Yellow; 12x24x1/4" is $10 about)

Ken Layton:
Black opaque plexiglass should be available from/through your local glass dealer.

crashwg:
I probably should have been a little more specific.  Maybe what I want it for would be a good thing to know.

I'm going to be building my own DDR hard pads real soon and what I want to do is have a piece of plexi/lexan on top, then the printed arrow, then a piece of light blocking plastic under that with a pattern cut out of it so when I put a light inside the pad it will only light up the cut out parts.

patrickl:
For that I guess you could also use a bit of overhead sheet printed with a laserprinter (sandwiched between two layers of plexi/lexan). Then you can easily mask out any pattern you want. I guess a laserprint would block light pretty well too and it's much easier to mask a pattern with it then with opaque plexi.

But using paint on the underside of another layer of transparent plexi seems a pretty good option too.
