    Default Tinting taillights

    Well my calais taillights were quite faded so I thought I would lightly tint them to match the darkness of the garnish. Tried to do a very light first coat but I held the can a bit to close and it came out a bit uneven. Is there any way I can remove it without melting the lights, or would another light coat even it up enough so it's not to noticeable.

    Thinners + Rag + Quick Motions + Wash off to prevent melting plastic = Good Spray On Tint Remover
