I just purchase this GS F-sport with painted rear lights, does anyone know if there is something to remove the paint off? Anything will help.

I've seen this car in Houston, TX. I agree the tail lights need to be sanded clean, painted red

try paint thinner before anything, it is effective with spray tint. if that doesnt work, sand it down with 320 grit sand paper until its clear, then 400, 800, 2000, and 3000 sand paper.

regardless of which route you go, use compound and polish afterward.

Pepboys has paint stripper a spray can I think it has a pic of a plane on it. I had my g35 coupe sprayed with vht and wanted it off a year later and only thing that worked was to spray that on then wipe it off with scrapping it with a plastic razor blade then buffed back to a shine
