smoked 1/4 inch black acrylic

where can i buy this in the UK? hell, even the US wouldn't be too bad, i could get it sent by surface mail.

I tried one place, and they sent me a sample, but it was too opaque, and not what i was looking for.

you might try making some yourself, depending on what color smoke you want. if you want like a black black smoke that you can still see through just hit a peice of clear acrylic with a thin spray of black vynil dye. just make sure you test on a small section first.

dude use window tinting, you can get it at any auto parts store... and not that expensive

might do that. i can get clear acrylic much easier. just hope its easy to tint.

as long as there is no bubbles and you go really slow and fallow the directions to the T, you will do fine.... hey why dont you post a worklog onit if you do it... it would be a nice tutorial... well it should actually go in the modding Q&A

Yeah, I have use window tint on an entire acrylic case before and it looks very nice,


Here is how to do it. First spray the surface of the acrylic with windex or some soapy water. Then apply with tint. Slide it around and get all the creases out. When you have it right where you want it use a squeegy (not sure it i spelt that right) to get all the air bubbles and windex out from under the tint. Let it dry for a few minutes (use a hair dryer if your in a hurry, BUT DONT GET IT TO CLOSE).

Goodluck Man!! and take your time.
