    The only way I know of to "smoke" plexy that is clear (assuming you don't have the option to order smoked plexi from a supplier) is to use automotive window tinting... got some from local autoparts and it was easy enough to apply...

    a light sanding would also produce a similar effect, but a spray tinting would give a better result

    unless you want to try the new 'bodymods' - spray your insides using frosting, allows light to give nice glow and gives a nice effect, which can be seen thru the plexi sealed hole in your stomach

    in the uk there is a brand called plastikote... there glass frosting spaycan is really good for perspex.

    availible at most harware shops in the uk (b&Q for sure) but i guess that doesnt help u in denmark ;)
