anyway to strip off night shade? I nightshaded my clear corners the other day and i think i used too much because now when they light up they light up red. It looks like hell when theyre on at night. So is there anyway i can strip it off and repaint them? maybe some scuff pads or sand paper?

and dont use 120 grit use something ALOT finer 120 will leave some nice scratches in there and you will be sanding down that thing for hours on end to get it right again, use something like 400 or finer depending on how badly damaged your lens is right now...
