question about paint and clearcoat
i just painted the housings of my headlites, and i when i was clearcoating the housings, clear coat got onto one of my clear plastic headlight covers. i thot it wud be alrite, but after i put it all back together, i noticed that when lite shines directly at the front of my car, the light with clear coat completely reflects the light, kinda like a mirror, while the other one is normal. is there anyway to get rid of the clearcoat? lik maybe some kind of paint thinner, or clear oat thinner if it exists.
also, the "hi gloss" paint i got isn't too glossy...is there any kind of spray on thing that i can use to make the turn signals and the parking lites a little bit brighter?
thanks guys

Some paint removers will not harm clear plastic headlights.
Try some on a little corner to see if it works. 3M Chrome
Polish will buff up any paint surface to a glass-like shine.
As for the brightness of your turn signals, you can try placing
a mirrored aluminum reflector in front of the regular reflector.
