New Mods?? Show it off >>HERE<<
Dude great work!! If I ever decide to tint my tails I'll definitely let you know 
So after letting the tint and clear coat cure for 24 hours, I wet sanded both tail lights with 2000 grit. Rinsed with soap and water, and then dried both. Here is a pic to show how scary the light looked before taking the compound and shinin' it all up 
I then proceeded using a compound and rubbing out the light scratches, and I used a polish afterwards (on just a foam applicator) and 'buffed' out the rest of the scratches. There are still some scratches left that need to be removed (but are very difficult to see unless light is shining on the light at the right angle) once I get the buffer out later this winter once my tails are mounted on my car. I am VERY happy with how they turned out, and all it took was doing some research, being patient and making sure the prep work was all done correctly!
I would be happy to help anyone who wants to do this to their tail lights, because I would HATE for someone to try this for their first time on their stock tails and mess something up that can't be fixed.

Well I put my truck lip spoiler on today!
And then kind of decided to change it up again....
Not going to lie probably won't use that method again, but it sure was slick to take off...
And finished.

Dan- Some days I was some days I wasn't. They always seemed to look dirty as **** even though they were clean, so I just ripped it off. I will just paint them in the spring and do it right this time unless I get new wheels 
They probably looked dirty because we live in a very dirty city (Fargo...)
I dont mind plasti dip. I like the way it looked. I just wasnt a fan of these wheels, being black, on my car.
