    Using just dupli color and a old sheet. I was able to remove 2 coats and a clear coat with out affecting the plastic. Hopefully somebody might find it useful. To restore your taillights back to normal afterwards just use some clear coat and you'll be back to normal.

    I spent about an hour sanding mine off to re-tint them, wish I saw this before! Awesome find!

    Will this all work if you have clear coat over the VHT?
