Airbrushed acrylic with acrylic paint and etched

Airbrushed a piece of clear acrylic with matte black and then etched an image on HD settings. It was just something I hadn’t tried yet so was curious about the result. I was concerned the paint would burn and not be a fine etch, but overall happy I’m happy with the result.

Next experiments are:

  1. Bottom light with LEDs
  2. Spray other side with translucent color

Nice results, please share once you spray to reverse and add LEDs

That is very avant-garde. Is that one of those transformer machines? I love your creativity

That came out great!

Are you going to seal it? I do feel like the paint would scratch very easily.

What a neat technique! Can’t wait to see it lit up in a dark room (hint, hint)

P.S. I know, I should have played it off like I knew all along… :rofl:

Given that info, I don’t think they would have known the correct answer. :smiley:
