First of all I don't see why you'd ever want to spray paint lexan as it's crystal clearness is beautiful as it is. Perhaps a custom airbrush job but I'll save that topic for another thread.
As for the lexan shattering, this is completely reasonable given the circumstances. The spraypaint acts as a solvent and attacks the lexan making it brittle. Pactra and Parma both make paints safe for lexan. They can be found at your local hobby shop. Here's the link for the Parma paint http://www.parmapse.com/faskolor.asp |
