I love this painting idea! I've been trying repeatedly to frame my monitor out and it looks like crap. This seems a simple, yet elegant solution.
For the guys who have gone this route... Is there any reason you went with spray paint over rolled paint? I only ask because I have plenty of black paint for cabinet painting purposes and I'm wondering if I can use that on the plexi as well.
Thanks for the tip!

I see no reason why rolled on paint wouldn't work. You don't need to worry whether it's glossy or not as it becomes glossy because of the plexi. The plexi also makes it a smooth finish regardless of how ugly it looks on the back side.

I was concerned about a texture somehow showing through, but I guess not. I've never seen it rolled on.
spOOf:
I'll try it out and let you guys know. Good point about the tapping though. I'll have to make sure I do that really well so it doesn't bleed through.
