So I started working on my retrofit recently and I sanded my headlights down and painted them, but was unhappy with result due to a few runs and paint splatter. I wanted to remove the paint and redo them but I started sanding some of the paint off but I cannot get sandpaper into the crevices of the housing. Anyone know of anything to strip paint safely off of our headlights? Any tips wou be appreciated.

 

Paint Thinner

 

Sounds like a bad idea on plastic

 

Use that spray on aircraft paint thinner at autozone, it works good on plastic bumpers.

 

i think i used a little 400-600 grit on the plastic then some plastic semi gloss paint mine come out perfect everything! ive done several, and i have so methethol ketone in the garage that my dad had it smells horrific and will make you pass out if you breathe it but MAN does it take overspray off!!! just have to thoroughly clean after.
