if you mess up will paint thinner take it off easily?


will it mess up the stock look?

just in case i dont want to be screwed , lol >smile.gif>
first off, no... paint thinner will more or less, screw them up more.. i havnt tried it on mine, but my buddie did on his front turns on his del sol, so will alchol .. so unless you think you can do a really good job, or have an extra set, i wouldnt bother.
painting as in tinting them?
well im just gonna paint the amber part of the usdm HB tails red and clear coat it which should be easy

and yes i will have an extra set to try it on
if you mess up just sand the faults out and refinish it
de-greaser will take off the paint. I don't see why thinner would hurt them though...
Thinner wont hurt it. I used finger nail polish remover to get the tint off of my tails when I had to redo them, just wash it good after you get the paint off.

i painted mine red, and if you take your time it shouldn't be that hard. paintthinner shouldn't hurt it if you use a rag and not just pour it on, but don't use lacquer thinner.

MISS THE CELI, BUT...
i painted my tail lights with "NITE SHADES" and i f-ed up my first try on them and paint thinner took it right off.
