Hi,

Has anyone has success with removing automotive paint from the tail light housing and the wiring harness? I think a 6yr old painted my car, as the harness and tail light housings are covered with a lot of red paint.


I searched the site and found several that used acetone. I tried this and it discolored my tail light housing. Anyone have success with something else that did not destroy the wire (eg remove stripes) or discolor the housings?

Thanks,
Dennis
