Window film can be applied to acrylic panels successfully, but usually a reputable company will discourage it. The reason is that once applied and cured, window film can't be removed from acrylics and so are absolutely permanent, so if there was incidental damage to the panel or some defect or debris trapped underneath, the entire panel would have to be replaced instead of just the film. Also, acrylic materials are not impermeable like solid glass so they allow small amounts of air to pass through over time. This will inevitably cause small bubbles to form under the film after a year or so and leave an unsightly appearance no matter how high quality the materials used or how expert the installer. So while film can be applied to acrylic, the end results usually would leave both the customer and the installing company with less than satisfactory results.
