I was doing my reverse lights and blacking out the chevy logo on the back of my car today. I didn't put enough layers or missed a spot and theres a triangle about 1 inch in area that is in a light black...any idea how i should get this off..also i tried using this stuff that is supposed to remove scratches and not only did it not work now the paint looks really dull and almost scratched more =/

Didn't have the right tool. It was stuck I took my tail lights out when I did them but I couldn't get the reverse lights out =/

I bet you are kicking yourself in the nuts now

Should have taken it off even if you had to buy the "right" tool.

use acitone to remove it and do it over
reverse lights are just as easy as the brake lights to take out

Brake clean wil take off nite shade like it is its job

Youll need to polish and wax the area afterwards especially since you dulled it with swirl remover.

BrakeKleen will F*(k Sh*t up! it eats plastics, and yes removes paint and in some cases all the paint! Be carefull with that stuff but it works great if you clean up real well. NuFinish i think its called made my moms ride shine like new after years of oxidation, maybe that will work for ya?! I takes Lots of elbow grease!

ok...first you are probably going to need to use some acetone or lacquer thinner or a quick wipe of brake cleaner....

then we have to fix the fact that you scratched the **** out of your paint...

i reccomend Turbo Wax Swirl Remover...or any other HIGH END polish...then you will need to wax again.
