Is plexiglass paintable?

Answer by  14lvl (144)

It depends on the kind of paint. Oil paint won't stick to plexiglass for too long, but water based paints like acrylic, latex, even some fabric paint should be fine. Many artists experiment with acrylic on glass and plexiglass, and it creates a wonderful and beautiful effect. Just be careful about peeling, and it'll be fine.

Yes it is. Common household and spray paints don't work so well, however. Most home improvement stores carry paints made to work on plexiglass.

It should be printable. You need to prep the surface by applying an adhesion promoter, primer, or lightly scuffing the surface. The paint should then stick quite well.

Plexiglass should be able to be painted but you have to get the right kind of paint. Select a paint that is intended for use on plastics and you should be fine.
