(This type of sign; photo above is random example from the Internet)

Hi all! I’m in talks with a potential client who has 2 old light box signs they want to replace—ideally by just taking out the front panel and replacing with their own signs. These are your standard strip mall kind of box signs.

My question is: What is the feasibility of replacing these with a hand-painted acrylic/plexi panel? Has anyone done such a thing? If yes, what are some specific technical aspects re: light/substrate/paint to consider?

OR, is this something I should not even consider? (They have other signage needs too). Thanks for any insight!
