We are doing a backlit plastic panel that will be digital on front side and that will need to be white on the backside.Just thought I 'd ask what any of other signers us to spray the backlits with and where you might purcahse it from. I used a product a few years ago and I can't recall where I got it.

I've slept since then.
Thanks to all!

I used GripFlex and the associated thinner made by Azko Noble (sp) used to get it thru Pioneer Supply Co. in Pittsburgh. But I'm sure others will chime in with better info soon!

...Find an outdoor sign company and have them spray it for you. They will (most likely) be already set up for that work, and will use the correct translucent paint for plastic faces.

Why not use sign white plexi and save yourself the hassle.

Better than using white acrylic is to use clear polycarbonate and cover the reverse side (second surface) with the 3M light diffusing translucent white vinyl.

Don't forget to double print the clear digital print...
