lol well oviously you noticed this post before you noticed the other one! lol i figured i could get more of a response making a new thread plus this is semi diffrent i need to know how to REMOVE the paint lol if its possible

 

[mazzasec]

but now the lights give a blueish tint lol

pics up!

 

[Donner]

Nice! (Legal?) So all you have to do is buff them down until the defects are gone... What year is it?

 

[mazzasec]

will they still buff down even though i already applied the clear? its an 04

 

[Donner]

You might be in the market for replacement lamps... for safety, you can't see at night. I'd would think paint thinner could remove that...

 

[Donner]

If you can't get the paint off, and need oem corners, I can send you mine... pm?

 

[Blazepet7]

paint thinner may blurr out the actual plastic on the headlight...i speak from experience...not on a car though...test before you apply

 

[Donner]

oh, then i wouldn't use it... sounds like it would melt the plastic?

 

[Pollarican]

Try using rubbing compound with a buffer. Paint thinner will definately eat at the plastic a little and make the lamps look foggy, I know acetone does.

 

[Uafan]

Paint remover?

 

[Donner]

Isn't that the same as paint thinner?
