No problem! sounds good. You can paint them on the car too just put tape around the headlights then paper or plastic halfway up the car. Thats why i did on my sedan and my buddies hatch. But today I actually cleared mine out today and they look stock agan.

AlanNgo7

Did you bake your lights? How did you exactly clear your lights?

I took all red off because it finally faded and I didnt want to paint them again. so I wet sanded them and used the plastic restorer on them

I don't know, I am not a fan of painting, I'd rather pay the premium to go with vinyl, so it is less hassle, that and I will state again, I am pretty lazy haha

AlanNgo7

aww S***. I think i painted them to dark. You can't even see the bulbs any more -__-

you can take nail polish remover and take some off

AlanNgo7

What grid wet sand paper did you use and what kind of plastic restorer did you use? Where did you buy it?

use 1000 then 1500 grit or even finer one you realize your back to clear I went in small circular motions so you really get the area cleaned and then use plastx from meguiars. I got it from walmart its 5.99 there compares to 7.99 everywhere else im cheap haha. then get a pad and really rub it in fast and slow(no hommo). Just tape around the light edges to make sure you get everything and the tape helps not hit paint.

Do you ever come to concord area? I can give you a helping hand possibly if I am off

Another ghetto fix you can do is if you have extra spray or clear coat you can spray them and then quickly use nailpolish remover and most of it should come off. the new layer of paint lifts the paint and the nailpolish remover takes it off.

Hahaha i'm going to try this since I have two sisters and they always have nailpolish remover laying around the house. But it that doesn't work. Ill go with the 1000 then 1500 and Plastx Meguiars.

All of this because i did too many coats and then realized that i made it completely red LOL
