Removing Tint Spray from Plastic
Well it took a day to get the paint off of the Tail lights, spoiler light, and sidemarkers but I finally found out how. I found out from looking around on the internet that if you use Pine Sol and let just the parts that have paint on them soak in it for a few hours, you can scrub it off with an old cloth. It took a bit of scrubbing but it didn't hurt any of my lights at all. I ended up using the whole bottle of Pine Sol but they almost look new to me now.

What's wrong with just useing Goof-Off or Lighter Fluid? 
Just the smallest amount of Goof-Off will remove paint over-spray as easy as wiping finger prints off a window with Windex. But that way works too.
You're right though.......they do look nice and clean.
