Is this even possible to do? What should I use as far as paint, or should I use vinyl dye?
 
We use Pactra paints on Lexan...don't see why it wouldn't work on plexi.

Your local hobby shop will have it.
 
Well, I've tried regular black paint on the inside, and no matter how many thin coats I use, I can't get an even coating for shit. It's like the paint refuses to adhere to the plexiglass.
 
um you have to sand it with 320 or 400 grit sandpaper to get enamel or acrylic paint to stick, or have it sandblasted. the lexan type paints should stick but the surface must be squeaky clean, give it a good wash with some soap and hot water. Most hobby shops carry the pactra spray paints, but the cans are tiny and expensive. Try sanding the outsides and paint it like anything else, works well for me that way.
