Anyone got an idea how to remove nightshades spray tint from taillights? i decided to go a different route with em an i'd like to avoid buyin a new set ($100 was the cheapest i could find). I'm not sure if paint thinner is the way to go. thanks for any help.

 

i wouldnt u paint thinner

 

any paint remover will work, brake cleaner works also

 

why don't you just trade with someone that wants tinted tails

 

cool thanks for the info. just wasn't sure enough to go ahead

 

i heard laquor(sp?) thinner will take it off

 

and as well if u got some elbow grease.. wetsand with 800 and reclear them

 

i used Nightshades on my headlights at one point, and didnt like it, i used Paint thinner and it took it off, made sure it wasnt melting the plastic so i did a little spot and took it off right away.

 

Beware of spraying brake clean on plastics.

 

ya thinner and brake clean and plastic do not mix.

 

^^laquor thinner or paint thinner?

 

paint thinner

 

can i see pics of your tailights...
because i would trade you for non tinted ones if i like them

 

paint thinner, as well as nail polish remover would work. pretty much anything with acetone in it. good luck, and make sure they're dry before the re-install, god knows you'd cry if it dripped on your bumper.

^this is probably the best option, at least the easiest.

laquer thinner does not work on modern day paint, and in my opinion probably wouldnt work on nightshade.. it might, but i doubt it.

 

took mine off with ease...and tha was with about 4 coats of nightshades and 3 coats of clear

 

thats why i said i wasnt sure, apparently i stand corrected. buy whatever is cheaper.

 

I went to home depot, bought some lacquer thinner and applied it to the tinted brake lights with a rag and the tint came off easily.

 

call vht direct and ask them

do NOT use any type of thinner, or brake cleaner.

also, don't use 800 grit paper unless you like having sand marks in your lights.
