How do i get this damn paint off my taillights without screwing them up? Im also gonna need to polish em up a bit. Any recommended brands of polish or whatnot for that?

 

there has been post about it but i'm not gonna look em up

i got some ****ty lights off ebay and repainted the black parts and sanded down the lenses with like 400 wet up to 2000 then a turtle wax polish stuff(prolly not the best brand but what i had) and then a coat of clear. It looks basically like brand new lights now if not better

 

What "damn paint" are we talking about here? Overspray? You could try a clay bar. Polishing them might take the paint off as well. Eastwood sells a kit and the results posted here have been great.

Wait, you waxed, THEN clear coated? Bad idea....

not wax....turtle wax brand polish

 

Damn Macco paint jobs.

 

Yup.... same here, they left overspray on all my lights/lenses.

 

My thoughts exactly. Overall the job wasnt bad. Wasnt too happy about all the pits that were left in it but hey. Only touched a bit of the tail lights so it shouldnt be a big deal

 

Yeah I've heard some pretty bad stories about them. Luckily I paint cars on the side so I can do it myself. Unfortunantly my cars been in primer for about 3yrs. Lazy, Lazy, Lazy!!!!
