removing tail light tint

I used some rustoleum lense tint the other day on my tails,and it came out far from decent. After wet sanding forever with no luck I tried some "goof off". Didn't do the trick for me no matter how long I let it sit. So I bought some stuff called "citristrip" today from lowes. Its a so called "safer" paint stripper. I let it soak on my tails for 30 mins and then tried wiping with a cloth...the tint came right off! No harm done to the tails either. Just figured i'd let you guys in on how I got that crap off finally lol.

 

Thanks a lot! I'll keep this in mind.

 

do you have any pics of the rustoleum tint? I would like to see what that looked like.

 

Yea I think I have a couple I'll put em on here in a lil bit when I'm on my laptop.

 

Doesn't really show much but this is all I got:


I'll be re-tinting tomorrow though so maybe I'll post a few more pics for you.

 

thanks...........they look really dark. How did they look when parking/driving lights/brakes turned on ?

 

That was with three coats, the lights didn't show too well. I re tinted again yesterday evening and did two light coats and it looks way better. Light output is a lot better than the last tint, the lights were very visible during the daylight today.

 

damn when i undid my tint I just wet sanded the hell out of them...it took forever but after I was done they were show room perfect

 

Dude I know I wet sanded one all the way back to stock and it took over an hour easy. Looked at the other tail light and said screw this lol.

 

I used acetone on my old tail lights on a different vehicle i had and that worked wonders as well, the fumes though...they'll getcha..ohhhh they'll getcha

 

lol yeah i bet. The citrustrip smells nice and orangey(probably not a word)
