Tint spray removal - WiNgNuTz - 12-02-2013
I want to reapply the light tint to my ph3 rear lights, just in case i really dont get on with the LED rears ive got coming from CJ_Derv, so what could i use to remove the original tint spray from the lights? Would rather apply a fresh coat, instead of spraying over the top of the chipped/patchy original coat.
There is THIS on eBay, but i was hoping to find something cheaper (Read: FREE) i could use as an alternative. Im thinking scouring pads maybe? Or something to that effect.
Answers by smoke signal/carrier pigeon please.

T cut may do it...used to use it to alter the tint after spraying them back in the day

Have you tried thinners/ petrol?
RE: Tint spray removal - WiNgNuTz - 12-02-2013
Havent tried anything yet tbh, new tint spray only arrived today. Want to put a good coat over the LED rears when they arrive, and the top section of my ph3 lights for if i dont like the LED's.
RE: Tint spray removal - Piggy - 12-02-2013
you may find with a good tcut they come up real nice!!
RE: Tint spray removal - WiNgNuTz - 12-02-2013
Nah, theyve flaked a bit in places, looking patchy, but you can only see it when you really look. Its just one of those things that I know are there, if you know what i mean!
RE: Tint spray removal - Piggy - 12-02-2013
ah in that case...get the petrol on it.!!!
RE: Tint spray removal - samass - 12-02-2013
I wouldnt try petrol tbh, might cloud the plastic on the lense
RE: Tint spray removal - WiNgNuTz - 12-02-2013
There is also a note on the back of the new can saying that the E-Tech tint spray is resistant to petrol, so may be more work than necessary.
RE: Tint spray removal - Piggy - 12-02-2013
I was just thinking that, but that will polish up real quick and it dont really matter as he going to retint them!

thinners.......works every time
Re: Tint spray removal - WiNgNuTz - 13-02-2013
Like white spirit? That sort of thing?
RE: Tint spray removal - HDIkyle - 13-02-2013
Thinners or gunwash is best. I had spraytinted windows and had to strip the rear 2 of them as it just ran like a bitch, was ment to be glass window tint spray aswell it was garbage. Good job I didn't leave them in mike it said to do!!
RE: Tint spray removal - Matt - 13-02-2013
Either thinners or get some g3 on them
RE: Tint spray removal - Piggy - 13-02-2013
gunwash maybe risky...I would expect it to melt the plastic!!!
RE: Tint spray removal - puglove - 13-02-2013
I just used a fine grit sand paper took it right off. Quick buff with tcut and the lights were like new
RE: Tint spray removal - WiNgNuTz - 17-02-2013
Turns out it just scrapes off, been using a finger nail!
RE: Tint spray removal - Bar3back - 20-02-2013
The public toilets require that finger nail for an unexpected plop that has ran down the side!
Sorry mate couldn't resist! Lol
Thinners removed spray paint from my car that some idiot thought would be funny!
Just wear plenty pairs of gloves tho!!!
