I ordered my signs from this place because there are no signmakers around me.  I plan on mounting them on painted black plexi.
debating wether to put light behind it because I dont know if it will shine once I paint the plexi.  Any thoughts?

If you paint it, the stick on letters will not shine and the black pain will turn grayish with thelight behind it. Have them cut the lettering out on black vinyl background and stick it on white plexi glass.

I ended up making my own.  I went to office max, bought stick on letters and black poster board.  I mounted the sign between 2 pieces of acrylic and sealed it with clear silicone.  Turned out pretty well.

Very Interesting...

I went and had a look at that site, this

Would work very well if you chose the option where the white are is the decal (with the letters cut out) and pick black as the color for the vinyl.

I need to keep this site bookmarked for future use.
I see they also do the PTO signage too.
