HELP! w Plexiglass faux stained glass

[kevinbednarz]

Im doing a 4 panel "drop ceiling" style faux stained glass ceiling in a wine cellar.

I used liquid leading for the outlines & have applied 2 coats of PLAID glass paint w brush.
Ive hidden the brush strokes pretty good, but I need it darker because even after 3 coats- too much light comes through and it dosent look "vibrant"

ANY advice on what I can do to the BACKSIDE of the plexi panels? White paint? Spray paint a frost on that side may work ?

I've used regular acrylic paints on plexi, but it was frosted plexi so adding the white might work. It was for stage so probably had a little more fudge factor. I don't know if you can add any colored acrylics on the back side to add to the depth of color if that's what you want. Any spare pieces that you can experiment with? trying extra color on one part or painting white on another.

Yeah- gotta do some trial n error on scrap pieces- thinking a frosted spray paint or backlit film?
