So i started this project few days ago, i used the tint spray and clear coat. I did everything right untill the last step. I wiped it and there was scratches on the light just on the clear coat, So i thought lets mess it up and do it agian
( wrong thing to do) so I sanded it down and I couldnt get all of the paint off. So i sanded the taillight with 1000 grid and got it smooth and wiped it with alcohol and spray painted over it and the spray is not sticking when it gets dry it looks like its driping... Is there anywhere that I can get sprey paint remover? Anyone know. Let me know.

 

Hardware store.

 

I tryed local store, they said they have paint remover but it will eat threw the taillight.

 

Probably. Sounds like you've messed them up pretty badly already.

 

Well the tail light is not messed up, I just need to remove the paint and start it over.

 

sand as much possible, even if you scratch the lens. then use the tint films like lamin-x or headlight armor. best way to go

 

they do have some paint remover that is safe for plastics, you just have to find the right stuff. if I had a link I would post it for you, but it was way too long ago that i bought the stuff.

 

Can you post up some pictures so we can see what you did? Would give us a better idea of what your talking about.

 

the alcohol is what's not letting it stick. get a heat gone and heat the up real good. then wet sand tthe living hell out of them and use tape to test if the paint will stick.

 

I used brake fluid to remove my tint spray...worked perfect.

 

I fixed it, I used a piece of alluminium and sharpend one end to it can get under the paint and i scraped all of it all. Worked great. Thanks guys

 

Why not just tint them? This way if someone hits you from behind you can just peel it off and they can't claim they didn't see your brake lights. Just in case.... People do love to sue.

 

I really don't want to see the outcome of this...

 

Yea I was kinda envisioning taillights that were scratched to hell too, but maybe it turned out ok..

 

It accually worked out, I took of the paint, but the new paint can not stick? Any tips?
