Does anyone know how to remove VHT Nightshade? I messed up on my 3rd brake light, it has wrinkles.

good luck.. i tried on my corner light and it was hell.. i got some paint remover, it was in a can at autozone and used a light coat of it you cant use much because it will eat the plastic too so be careful.. i would recommend gloves too.. then sand it with fine sand paper but you have to watch it and sand it evenly.. then when you re paint it use light coats and sand between each coat lightly. a few coats is all you should need.. then clear.. thats what i done with my corner light..

i had to remove all of it to get an even coat when you re spray its hard to get it even when you sand it unless you take it completely off
