Remove Paint off lights!

Post by Roadhog »

So heres how you get that paint off your tail lights w/o sanding!

1. Go to your local auto store...
2. Get a can of the spray on decal remover.
3. Apply a heavy coat to the painted lights, and then wipe off after 5-10 seconds with a rag or cloth. Then rinse.
4. Repeat if necessary.
5. ???
6. Profit.

I figured this out today after paint thinner was taking forever... Also this didn't fog the plastic like paint thinner did. :D

Good thing about this stuff is it wont harm your paint if you don't feel like taking out your tail lights. I would recommend washing the car right away afterwards to get off the decal remover that might have ran into a crevice. It can't be too good for the paint to let sit on there though..
