Painting on Plexiglass

Q. What types of paints can be used on plexiglass. I need to paint a black border on a peice of square plexiglass.

A. Try using an acrylic latex paint. Do not use a solvent-based paint as it might ruin the plexiglass. Finally, experiment first. Don't use anything on the real stuff until you have confirmed that the latex paint will work.
