i picked up a set of 91 taillights for 10 bucks but the thing is whoever had them before spray painted them and then tried to take off the paint. my question is what can i use to remove it to make it look somewhat good?

 

Use paint thinner and lots of scrubbing.

i was unsure about using any kind of thinner or paint remover bc it was plastic. i guess it'll be fine?

quick camera phone pic:

 

i think paint thinner will dull the finish, but you should be able to polish it back up with some polishing compound

 

paint thinner will work. i also used brake cleaner and carb and choke cleaner cus of the arisol can and the straw

And then get some plastic polish or headlight cover polish and shine them up

 

brake cleaner for win

 

cool. yeah i started using brake cleaner and it was workin pretty well but i just started getting lazy

 

Acetone rules.

 

acetone and brake cleaner can mess up the plastic and cloud it. try some xylol.

 

use gas!!!

 

try coke( the stuff you drink)

 

just buff it with a polishing pad and some mild cut compound, don't let it heat up though.
