Anyone know a good local source for colored plexiglass? I'm looking for just some basic opaque colors: white, black, and gray.

I've gotten a variety of 1/8" colored acrylic from Anchor Plastics.
I'm assuming you mean acrylic and not PMMA trade Plexiglass.

Yeah I meant acrylic. Know if the address Anchor lists for picking up orders is also a 'store front'?

Yeah it's a small store front. It's basically a desk and samples of
everything they carry, so it's easy to browse.

Just stopped by Anchor; great selection of blues and reds but unfortunately no gray.

You may want to give Alro Plastics a call. They have a good selection but I would call ahead and ask.

General Rubber and Plastic Supply 3118 S. Preston. That's where I go.
Samples on the sales desk. They'll cut it to order.

That's where I go for smoked and colored plex we use for display
windows on LED displays.
