Frosted Plexiglass – Frosted plexiglass has a matte finish on both sides of the plastic, which creates a frosted appearance. This means that paint will stick effectively to both sides of the acrylic sheet. However, its aesthetic appearance is a far cry from a smooth sheet of acrylic plastic – it is not recommended for multi-layered or reversible pieces of art.

ABOUT OUR ACRYLIC SIGNS
*We use professionally cut high quality, clear, shatterproof acrylic plastic.
*Even though acrylic will not shatter or break like glass, the corners and edges may still be slightly sharp so please handle with care!
*Acrylic creates static electricity which will grab small particles and dust. Signs are cleaned prior to shipping but you may need to wipe clean when it arrives or before use. Wipe GENTLY with soft DRY rag. Excessive rubbing or using wet cloth may damage or rub off paint!

CANCELATIONS:
We can only honor cancellations requested within 24 hours after the order has been placed as many orders are started the next day (they do take time to build, stain, dry, etc) to refund in full.
After that, if a cancellation is made the order will be subject to a 20%+ cancelation fee for any time/materials already spent/used on your order, depending on how far along your order is. We CANNOT cancel orders that have already been completed OR personalized orders in which your personalized information has already been added to the item.
RUSH ORDERS- Please note we CANNOT cancel rush orders once they are placed. We reserve a special time to complete your order, therefore we do not offer cancellations on rush orders.

Buyer is responsible for paying to reship item returned due to incorrect or incomplete address.
Unauthorized returns of personalized items, depending on the nature of the item, are not entitled to ANY refund if the item cannot be reused due to personalization. Buyer can pay to reship items returned due to incomplete or incorrect address or forfeit item purchased.
Please note, in the VERY RARE instance where a correct address is provided (which the delivery company can confirm it’s correct or not) and an item is returned to us, we will work it out with the buyer on how to move forward.

Why Paint on Frosted Plexiglass?
Frosted plexiglass and P95 acrylic are some of the most commonly used types of acrylic for painting. This isn’t just for aesthetic reasons – frosted and P95 acrylic have a light matte finish that gives paint the “tooth” that it needs to stick to acrylic. Tooth is extremely important – it’s one of the reasons why many artists reach for a bumpy canvas instead of a smooth sheet of paper. In the same way, smooth sheets of acrylic are slick, which can interfere with adherence and make the paint easier to scrape off.
P95 and frosted acrylic have a couple of important differences that painters and DIYers should consider before choosing their surface. Let’s take a closer look at what this difference means for you:
-
Frosted Plexiglass – Frosted plexiglass has a matte finish on both sides of the plastic, which creates a frosted appearance. This means that paint will stick effectively to both sides of the acrylic sheet. However, its aesthetic appearance is a far cry from a smooth sheet of acrylic plastic – it is not recommended for multi-layered or reversible pieces of art.
However, maybe you’re not keen on using a matte finish at all. If this is the case, then think ahead and pick up some fine-grit sandpaper, and plan out what you’d like to paint. Use the sandpaper to lightly scuff the area that will be painted. This will help the paint stick significantly better while keeping a rather clear appearance.
Alternatively, you can paint directly on top of a sheet of plastic, then carefully place another sheet of plastic on top of the dry painted sheet as a form of protection. If you choose this method of framing, make sure that the frame and plastic inside are well-supported, and not bending at all. For the highest level of optical clarity, we recommend using frame-grade acrylic sheets.
Prepare the Plexiglass
Once you select the right kind of plexiglass for your art piece or project, it’s time to prepare the plexiglass sheet for painting. First, clean the acrylic using either a mixture of water and dish soap or a specialty cleaning product like Novus #1. Gently wipe any excess material off the sheet using a clean, soft cloth.
For the best adhesion properties, use an acrylic-based primer – you can commonly find these as cans of spray paint at craft or home improvement stores. To avoid inhaling fumes, only spray the primer outdoors or in a very well-ventilated room. Keep in mind that acrylic primer can damage furniture, so it’s recommended to lay down newspaper or a tarp before you begin spraying. When spraying the primer, hold it about two feet away from the acrylic sheet and try to spray the surface as evenly as possible. Once the primer has dried, the sheet will be ready for painting.
The Best Paint for Plexiglass
The best kind of paint to use on a plexiglass sheet is acrylic-based paint or ink. Acrylic paint is inexpensive, easy to find, and simple to use. It can be applied through a diverse range of methods, such as a paintbrush, a spray can, or a sponge, to name a few. Each tool can provide a different aesthetic effect.
When painting on acrylic, keep in mind that thick layers of paint may take a while to dry. Be patient and make sure the paint is completely dry before applying your next coat. If you choose to use a hairdryer to accelerate drying, be careful not to let the acrylic get too hot – this could cause warping or could damage the paint or primer.
Even once the acrylic is completely dry, it can still be scraped off with something as soft as your fingernail. For best results, we recommend using a spray-on sealer designed for acrylic, which can be found at some craft and home improvement stores. This creates a thin, clear layer that’s very difficult to remove, protecting your painting for the long haul.
