Paint Acrylic?

Can acrylic be painted and used in saltwater? I know we can use Krylon paint on PVC in saltwater - can this same stuff be used on acrylic?

Sure can.

I've seen acrylic painted before. I think you need to sand/scuff the acrylic for better adhesion, and hopefully someone with more experience can chime in with a good technique.
