Hey guys,
Is it possible to dye plexiglass a solid black?
If so, whats the best way to go about it?
Thanks

I don't think you CAN "dye" plastic after it has been formed. The colour is added to the mixture before the plastic is heated and formed. I believe the only answer is "paint it" but will be interested to see if anyone suggests otherwise...

I know Nylon can be Dyed I have done this plenty of times, but never acrylic or plexiglass

I think Nylon is porous, whereas the thermoplastics are not. You might be able to treat the surface to make it porous using a solvent or Corona Treating.
Have you seen this? The results in making my own colored plexiglass. [Archive] - [H]ard|Forum

Window tinting film comes in some fairly dark shades. A Google search throws up various options and suppliers. Might be of some use?
