Paint Overspray

[lildemonjj]

Does anyone know how to get paint overspray off plastic lenses without turning them foggy or drying them out???

I have a 71 Demon with overspray on the taillights and side markers and am trying to salvage them. I thought about using accatone...not sure if that will damage them or not???

You could use some fine rubbing compound, or 0000 Steel wool with some cleaner.

i imagine if you used a headlight restore kit it would work fine. As that comes with the fine abrasives and a grittier one to clean up heavily tarnished lights.
It has a rubbing compound as well to finish it and make it like new. I used the Mothers one on my Magnum's headlights and they were bad they look new again.

I 'll try the rubbing compound this weekend since I have some, and let you know.

Thanks guys.

If it is not too bad I'd use a clay bar first

yep clay bar works great ...then a fine compound ...acetone will fog them big time

Acetone will eat the plastic.
