How do I frost clear plastic?

That solution is so elegantly simple, I feel like a complete mouth-breathing idiot.....Is there an emoticon for that?

Thanks!:thumbsup
 
I have tried both the sanding and spaying (with Dullcote) and I think the Dullcote is easier, and more consistant. It really does look like frosted glass. Give both a shot and see what works best for you.
I will never forget my first discovery of the dullcote method, on accident, with my 89 Batmobile - suprise, frosted windows!:lol
 
if it is acrylic, aka Plexiglass...then just get some 400 grit sandpaper and an orbital sander and you are good to go. Thats what we used to do for skylights back when i was working at a fabrication shop.
 
seconding the above mentioned "Krylon Frosted Glass".

If you screw up, just wash off and give it another shot.
