painting plexi/lexan
TOK:
Paint from the back with RC car paint. Definitely test on scraps if you do anything else. Not only will some paints not adhere, some propellants etch/mess up the plexi.

More info on the Leon CP (which is a very well painted plexi CP):

Also, the creator of the CP, who can print the vinyl for you (make sure to ask for the masking stuff):

I painted a black "bezel" on clear plexi using plain black spray paint bought at Lowe's. Took my time and did several even coats. Came out great. Couldn't tell from the front that it was paint and not made that way.
On a side note....
Paint the wood that mounts around the monitor also, especially if you don't have a tight-fitting plastic monitor bezel around the screen. This will keep the edges of the wood from being obvious when seen at angles through the clear portion.

I painted lexan to go in front of my monitor. I masked out the frame of the monitor, and painted the lexan from the back. Turned out great! I also masked out the pc monitor and painted the beige bezel around it flat black. This helped to hide the monitor look, and gave it a more arcade look.
