I recently discovered that my tinted tails are a "little" to dark.

Meaning when the sun is directly behind me you cant even see them.

Sooooo... Is there anyway I can make them brighter or will I have to sand it down some and re-clear it?

maybe if you wipe off some w/ thinner lightly until you get what you're trying to achieve, then re-clear?

Click to expand...

thats a good idea. Ill have to find something that wont leave lent though. Cause the paint will get tacky and pick up alot of lent. Maybe wipe then lightly sand if there is lent?
