Mirrored Plexiglass

[adam120674]

Hi, anyone out there painted on this stuff, will it stick? I know this is not rc question, but someone may have some experience with it. I'm building a cabinet for a slot machine and what to put this on the out of it and paint some casino items on it. I think it would make a nice effect. Thanks for any help :)

I know that polycarbonate paints will stick to plexiglass. Given that, I don't see a reason why it wouldn't work. Having a mirrored background would give some of the colors a rather unique look to them.

Yes, but I think the "mirror" part is a film, sort of like car tint, at least that is how it looks. I guess I'll just have to try it. :rolleyes: It is just that it is expensive :o

Are you planning on mirror tinting on the clean side or painted side of the plexi? I wouldn't try putting the film on the painted side as you'll get bubbles. Another option is to spray the plexi with a chrome paint instead of tinting, it might work out better.
