Unless you effect it chemically. In 2001 my HS team had forklifts made out of 1/4" lexan. We spray-painted them so that the drivers could easily see them from the booth. Late in the day at Long Island, we had a minor collision with 263 (they blasted right into us coming into the endzone) and the forklifts shattered.
Near as we can figure, the Lexan was weakened by the spray paint.
Moral of the story:
Don't paint Lexan. It can weaken it greatly.
