The reason is because the clear plastic is shiny, so no matter what type of paint you use on the inside, there will still be a degree of shiny"ness". But, if you paint the outside, it will chip off really easily if you race with it.

Status: offline 		micheals crafts sells liquid etcher for glass. you only leave it on for 5 miniutes so you would have to shorten the time alot. he probably would have troubles getting it to come out perfect and even. since i have the etcher and a spare wing ill give it a try in a miniute .

Status: offline 		doogie494, He can etch the outside, but I doubt it'll look good. The etching is probably gonna be more attractive than the paint. toyota1991, I think you are talking about glass etching cream. I've never tried it on plastic before, so I don't know the results. Hurry up, I want to know!

Status: offline 		Hm...I'm not that sure. All I know is that sanding the outside will make the plastic look white. It might not allow all the black to show through. Go ahead, try it. But do it on scrap Lexan first!

Status: offline 		you could use like 700-1000 grit sand paper and LIGHTLY wet-sand the body BEFORE paint. it should take the harsh gleam to it. after you use matt. black, it should look awsome.
