Hows it goen, anyone know of a way to remove paint from plastic (tail lights) without etching/fogging the plastic??

i bought some correction clay from napa, but doesnt seem to work, im told that teh spray can paint stripper is too strong and will ruin the plastic....

any thoughts...??

thanx

 

Brake fluid trick?

 

Use Acetone to remove the paint, then clean the fogginess with Mothers Plastic Cleaner.

Like Brand New again

 

Well a Micro-Mesh kit would work the best they are designed for Acrylic and Plastics, you would have to do a search for it online to find out where to buy it.

Cool thanx, i googled the micro mesh,... looks very interesting, like wet sanding the paint off (almost). can buy it online for around 20-30$

the previous owner of my EJ decided to 'tint' the rear tailights via a thin coat of paint... now im getten **** now that the safty inspection ran out and i gotta renew it. The lights dont look half bad though...lol only Slightly illegal, could always buy new tails, but thats tons more $ than this option

Yeah that sounds like a good deal, the Micro-Mesh works great on plastics like head lights and tail lights, I have the little kit sitting here to do my headlights on my Saturn they are all hazed and tiny chips all over, and the Micro-Mesh will make it look like new. Micro-Mesh is used on aircraft windows all the time and they look like new after, and it lasts. Good luck with your project!
