Material Identification Please

Hey Everyone! I had a thread a while ago trying to figure out what type of material someone used for some signs that a company wanted me to copy but I can't seem to find it to add this to it.

I met with a new client and low and behold seem to have come across either a material that is either similar or identical to the material I was trying to figure out before. It is either plastic or plexi. It is brown and opaque. I have attached a picture. The bottom three names on this sign seem to be made of either D-Lite or Alumalite in the Regal Bronze color as far as I can tell. The top two slats or name plates are made either plastic or plexi and have a shinny surface. Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Big Z

Plastic painted second surface is what it looks like. Hard to tell. Take a close up, real close.
How big, just sell them a whole new, nicer sign. Problem solved.

Are you sure it's opaque? U.S. Plastic has a bronze acrylic that will look opaque when it's mounted on a wall but there's still a little translucency to it.

Mosh I tired that....This operation has two offices in my area....the people working at this office would LOVE to have them replaced as well as other signs made to keep customers from parking in the employee spots / area but they are not the location / person approving or paying for it. Someone at the other location is so I am just doing what they asked.

Pat that is the exact product I ended up having to use for my other recently previous client. I actually bought it from U.S. Plastic but must say if I do buy any more acrylic I will have to find another supplier as it wasn't the best of experience but that is for another thread.
