    "Nite Shade" removal

    I just bought some Nite Shade spraypaint and sprayed my side markers. Unfortunately some of the paint leaked and now i got some friggin blotches on my sidemarkers. Any advice on how to remove the paint?

        i sprayed my tail lights about 10 shades too dark, to the point where when i hit the brakes, it was still dimmer than with the just the tail lights on previously. paint thinner didn't do much to it, and i got frustrated, so i took some sand paper to them. yeah, it sounds crazy, but it worked. i forgot what grit i started with, but the final grit was 2000, and then i used some rubbing compound. you can't tell they were ever sanded

          I've used an even easier trick. If you have any nite-shades left in the can spray more
          on and then you can wipe it all off and start over.
