Removing Tint Spray

[Dec]

Hey guys,

Ive got my MOT next week and dont want to risk it failing for my lights being too dark or something.

What do I use to remove the spray?

Thanks,
Dec

From what I remember the can I have in the shed says you can just peel it off, I'll check what it says if I can find it

Try nail varnish remover if it doesn't peel off... but test the NVR on a small section incase it eats the plastic

erm... dont think it will come off with white spirit as i found out years ago.

NVR might be worth a try.

if not get some stick-on reflectors otherwise you could fail the MOT.

I've only sprayed the top part with the indicaitors and reverse light and I think the reflector is on the lower half isn't it? Just worried they'll be too dark to pass and my side indicaitors possibly will aswell :/

[Jay]

As long as the correct colour comes through the tint you're OK

[Dec]

Ahh good stuff! Thanks mate

don't quote me on this but i didn't think side repeaters were compulsory, just recommended? If so you shouldn't have a problem with them surely? Like i said, don't quote me on it tho

[Khare]

not 100% sure but i think you can get away with no side repeaters. But bear in mind if you have a light IT MUST WORK! so non working side repeaters would fail, but no side repeaters at all, is a pass ( if its legal not to have them anyway)

Hmm going to a meet tonight so ill ask some of the guys there Theres an Mk1 that comes along sometimes thats had everything smoothed (inc. bumper holes meaning no indicators at all!) so ill ask him where he takes his if it is illegal
