Question I am working on scenery and want to paint plexiglass so that it is still translucent and can light through it. What is the best paint to use for this?

Artistic Acrylic is for large-scale artwork such as murals and signs, for architectural projects both inside and out. Except for the metallic and fluorescent colors, Artistic Acrylic can be used on exterior surfaces.
Artistic Acrylic colors are formulated with opaque pigments that have extra hiding power. Completely intermixable, the colors dry to a beautiful matte finish and can be thinned with water or extender, or thickened with gel, gesso, or modeling paste.
Use Artistic Acrylics as a pure acrylic finish or use them to simulate oil finishes, watercolors, and tempera. All products in the Artistic Acrylic line clean up with water. They're ideal for interior and exterior use. They're non-toxic, lead-free, non-mercurial, and non-flammable.
I would recommend a clear waterproofing sealant made by a company called, Minwax. Look for Minwax Polyurethane Sealant.
I sincerely hope this information will be helpful in your efforts to create a wonderful mural. If you have any questions or problems that arise during the production of your mural, do not hesitate to contact me.
Sincerely,
Robert M. Vincent
