Hi,
I've laser cut my panels too.
To spray paint the panels, you have to "sand" them with scotch brite.
Then you can spray paint a first layer of 1- component acryl primer.
Within 10 minutes sand it for a second time with scotch bite and add a second layer of primer.
Let it dry , see information on the spray can.
After that you can spray any color you like.
Best regards
Jan Geurtsen

Thank you Jan!! I guess my question should have been "How" rather than What.
Good thing the steps are not as painful as painting Classic American Rust Bucket Cars hehe.
Thanks,
Lou Mendez

Re: Best Paint For Acrylic
Hello,
first i also use scotch brite to get some roughness on the acryl . Then use primer. For the final painting i use standard car paint out of the spray can. Two layers give a nice result. Be carefull that you have a clean working area and no dust floating around. Using scotchbrite on acryl "loads" the material electrostatical and the dust loves to come and sit down on the freshly painted surface.... ; )
Cheers Andy

Re: Best Paint For Acrylic
Louie,
Could I ask how you mask the letters when you do the spray painting?
Thank you,
Philip
