Painting on Perspex, by jynormous on Dec 10, 2007 14:27:57 GMT 1, Hi everyone,
I'm looking at doing some painting on some clear Perspex, much like the D*Face pop-tarts at White Noise.
I know D's were screen printed, however I'm looking to spray-paint mine.
Has anyone done something like this before? How can i stop the paint coming off the Perspex easily? Do i need to apply a self-etching primer?
Any ideas will be a massive help.
Cheers,
Jy.

Why not use Acrylics IE "system 3 from Daler rowney" they will dry with a very similar effect.

I think anything you put on perspex will be susceptible to scratching.
If I may be so bold as to quote Johnny Ball:
"DON'T THINK IT - DO IT!"

You can use cheap frames that use plexi instead of glass and then when reassembled it will be protected.

Are Habitat or anyone selling cheap perspex frames at the moment?
