Looking for: someone to fix my tails

[Dispect]

Hi. I'm looking for someone in vancouver (around Richmond) to help me fix my taillights which I fucked up in the process of trying to smoke and tint. I need someone with experience who can help me remove the tint completely and retint it for me. Pm me and we can work out a price. Thank youuu! (:

It just takes some patience. Wet sand the taillight back down and prep for a clean surface. Hit it with two coats of the tint you are using, and then a final coat that is slightly heavier to create the glossy look. Let's see some pics of what happened.

Could you give me a little more details pls? I just don't wanna take any chances anymore. They turned out ok but they were way too dark and had overspray and drip all over.

Post a picture up lets see how bad they look.

Should be fixable with wet sanding and lots of time

here are the pictures.
heres what i did. last night, i went to the gas station and got some gas and tried using that. surprisingly, it works! BUT it didnt completely remove it all and its VERY hard to remove the tint with this method. idk if the camera is clear enough but you can still see some red markings on the lens that would not come out no matter what i did. i think the only way to fix that is to wet sand then polish it out (i have the orbital polisher machine)? if so, how do i do it? thanks guys!

Dispect, before scratching up your taillights with sandpaper and such (Last resort)... Try using paint thinner (lacquer thinner), you can get these at almost any hardware stores like ex. Home Depot.

*WARNING!* When using the paint thinner, be sure to REMOVE the taillight assemblies from the vehicle before working on them or the paint thinner will MESS UP your new awesome asphalt paint!

Good luck!


P.S. Next time when you paint/tint, spray small thin layers at a time and let each layer dry before adding more... it will prevent you from overcoating and creating runs.

ahh got it but a little too late haha. while i was at the states i picked up this thing called a paint stripper(LOL)? and it worked like a charm!!!! the only thing is that now it has some scuffs and scratches here and there due to the hard rubbing. how do i fix that? clear coat it?
