Removing paint from Tailights
Yea i screwed up big here. About a year ago, i thought it would be cool to paint my tailights so my car would look like a "skyline". I used duplicolor self etching primer, and duplicolor paint and gloss on these tails. I fully regret it, and am trying to get my car stock again. :dumbass:

Use nail polish remover, it removes the paint easily.

If it is just the tail lights, take the lights off the car (so you dont get any on the car) and use paint remover.

I think i'm gonna try some non-acetone nail polish remover and a toothbrush. if that doesn't work i'll try a buffing wheel.

Eh, i just gave up after a while, they were a little discolored fromt he primer,and scratched up.
I got a pair of brand new aftermarket O.E. tails for 65 bucks tho, funny how the auto salvage place wanted 40 each for used tailights.........
