How can I take off paint from my tails?
I had my tails painted with some stained glass red paint, now my left side tail is having a hard time with the paint and it comming off. What can I use to take off the paint from the plastic without damaging the surface or making marks? Thanks

i would try somthing like aceton from homedepot first, it worked for me when i oversprayed on tail lights, it may not take it all off but it'll def. take a decent amount off depending on how strong the paint is before you start sanding them

Test it in a corner first....there are so many people saying different things, and you dont know what to do. I would try the liquid removers first in a small area to see if they're plastic friendly...if they dont work, then go for the sanding. The worst that could happen is you can ruin one light, and you can prolly find one in the classifieds for cheap

Listen Gas and Plastic isnt a good idea (think about that...oh yeah - NAPALM)...I have paint stripper that is safe on plastics and works awesome. I have an extra bottle if you want it. I'll sell it to you for what it cost me. PM me if you are interested.
