    Did my tail lights yesterday...but I have a quick question.

    Painted my tail lights all red last night. I jumped the gun on putting one side in. And in pressing on it, left a small thumb print...apparently it wasn't completely dry yet. It's nothing bad, but I am a bit of a perfectionist. What can I use to strip off the paint, so that I can redo that tail light if I choose to? Thanks guys.

      I've heard isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol works.

              Got the acetone. But I need to know what the best way to apply it is (using what...and how much to apply). Anything else I should know? Thanks again guys.

                  i used gas. im hesitant to use rubbing alcohol on plastics now. I spilled some paint on my stereo and tried to remove it with rub. alc. now the window for the cass. tape is like it melted.
