I've noticed that someone had an Acura symbol etched onto the plexiglass on their subwoofer box and was wondering if it could be a diy. Just wonder if it is possible to attempt by one's self. Thanks

 

I'd like to know, too. The case for my carpc is plexi.

 

this is usually done with a sand plaster, but can also be done with sand paper. They mask the outline of what they do NOT want etched, and then spray it....You can do the same with sand paper, or they even make a spray paint type thing that gives the same effect.

 

Where does one obtain a spray paint type thing?

 

Sears

 

What is it? a sandblaster in an aerosol can?

 

It chemically etches the plastic. I did it to one of my PC windows. Craft stores have it as well (A.C. Moore, Michael's, etc.).

 

no its just paint, it can come off if u want it to...i haven't seen a chemical one

 

You can also just get a frosted glass spray. Make a templete or use fine line automotive body shopt tape and make the design mask it off and spray it.
Also instead of a neon get like 1/2 - 3/4 inch plexi and drill 1-2 small holes per side of plexi and install led's. I will illuminate the fosted or etching and the edges of the plexi.

 

Thanks for the tip

 

thats what i'm talking about

 

Anytime. Also on that idea next time you mount an amp mount it on plexi and put like 4 leds in the plexi under the amp. ie take a hole saw and drill a hole smack dab in the middle of the make notches or holes and install. The edges will look sick.

 

Just one plexi example

 

Here's the link on mine... the plexi on mine is actually ingraved in the back.
