i recently painted my taillights with the nightshades.they came out pretty good noticed some cat hair and dirt got under the paint and its annoying me. so i was wondering what a safe way would be to remove the paint without risk of damaging the taillights so i can redo them.luckily i bought extra cans just in case.thanks in advance.

just wetsand it off with 1000 grit paper. Depending on how thick it is it shouldn't take too long to get off.

thanks.i have 7 coats on it.i thought about that.i figured most paint removers would just eat the plastic after the paint was gone.didnt want to risk it.thanks for the help.

No prob. I've had to do my share of removing the stuff because I wasn't happy with the way it turned out

Fold the sand paper and just get in there the best you can.

On my Side markers I used nail polish remover. But I just wiped it down with a cotton ball. It pulled off the nite shades but it left the lens dull so I had to wetsand and polish it up again.

not very long, i poured it on a rag, and then wiped the taillights til it all came off. dont leave the thinner on the light to long, wipe it down with clean rags, that way u get it all off
