I did mine years ago and when I got the flame job the blacked out front turn signals didnt look right so I just wet sanded them to get the VHT off. BTW since I've been packing up stuff to move I found a can of this stuff that I wont use. Anyone want it? It's almost a whole can

Just watch to make sure you are not putting any really deep scratches in the areas around the letters. Either way you can make mistakes just make sure u sand it flat before application. Then just use the 2000 once u want to wet sand Really its personal preference. I got impatient using the fine paper and switched to the heavy and it still took me awhile to get them off. 2000 is what i used for wet sanding so its way to fine to get the letters off. Just watch as u go basically and u will see what I am talking about. Sorry if thats long but Im pretty tired and may have been rambling haha. Any more questions let me know!
