Tint

[ShawnAzzopardi]

So, I bought a pair of tail lights for my Nova. One is fine, but the other one is spray tinted. Anyone know what I could use to get it off? It looks like garbage. I've tried Autosol glass polish to no avail, as well as a heat gun, but that melted it in a certain part and I stopped at that point.

Would thinner do? I've tried brake cleaner as some sources have said, but it didn't work.

Tcut? Or any other cutting compound

I used thinners on a set was ok then just used compound afterwards to bring shine back.

Only polishes I have laying around are Autoglym for lighter colors, Autosol glass and chrome polishes, and another one but it's only for blue paint.

Hmm, I'll give that a go. I tried using thinner, it got a lot of it off but there's still some left over and it seems to have matted. I had a sudden brainwave and thought maybe some brake fluid? I had some left over from when I serviced my car and applied a thin, generous layer to the tail light in hopes it'll peel off whatever is left.

If it doesn't work, I'll try 2500 grit sandpaper and wet sand it

Update: Neither worked, so I gave up and tinted them again.
