No doubt this does make a huge difference.  Before using the acrylic, use a
sharpie to color in any trimmed paper edges so no white shows.  I have 2
tips on acrylic

1 - I tried several.  The one that worked best for me was Lowes own brand
"One & Only by Valspar Clear Acrylic Satin"
2 - (I learned this from Ken Tkacs) put the panel on the floor and spray
from 3 feet above so the stuff is 1/2 dry when it hits.  Stop and start the
nozzle in bursts to intentionally create spurts and splatters (like they
tell you not to do on spray paint cans).  Apply several very light coats
instead of one or two heavy ones. This helps create that "texture" feel and
appearance.

I intend to try the lacquer thing sometime which I think will improve them.
