Thanks for all the replies gang, much appreciated! In the future I'll definitely just skip this whole dilemma by remembering not to clear coat anything clear plastic haha- duh! I decided to leave the windows as is cause, as I said, they don't really look to horrible to me and since I was 99% done, this being my first model and all- I went ahead as per the plan and she came out just fine IMO. I'll try and post some pictures ASAP- the glass in question is pretty much opaque so I'm not sure how the tinted/smokey window effect would come off- just a darker cloudiness which would probably look worse in my eyes- I do plan on doing some window tinting in the future so thanks for the tips! Peace n love, thanks again (side note- is it just me or is the fit for the body on the completed chassis for the 08 Bullitt Mustang ridiculously tight? Requiring a bit of prying and general mandhandling... not to mention tradin' quite a bit of paint on the edges and wheel wells... first one's the hardest I guess

Aaaah balls! I didn't want to think that was an option but it was my fear... Honestly I don't think it looks too terrible, (not enough to motivate me to get new parts at least...) it kind of gives the glass a slightly frosted or foggy look h I actually kind of like on the headlights at least- I do wish you could see the lights a bit more but even on the backside windows it gives it a "different" look to say the least. Well thanks anyways, I definitely will remember this lesson in the future, that's for sure!

Hey all first post, many thanks to everyone here- from the tutorials to the completed projects, my skills and view of the hobby are better than ever! Anywho I'm just finishing up my first model car (yes... first ever- I'm 22 in a week and long story short I just decided I needed a hobby and jumped irght in, lovin' every minute of it. So I was getting ready to put the clear coat on the body of my 08 Bullitt Mustang, affixed mirrors, got the psoiler attached, etc and then did the deed and laid down a lovely gloss coat. Immediately after I sprayed, to my disappointment, I realized my silly error- I had stupidly put it in the side windows and headlight covers- so now they're all kinds of glossy/foggy from the paint. I know it's not too horrible... it just looks terrible and I can't stop kicking myself for such a simple mistake. I was wondering (praying really) if just dipping a Q-tip in paint thinner and giving the clear parts a good rub-down would remove (at least most) of the clear coat? If there's any other solutions I'm all ears, but I figure that will probably do the trick- just wanna know if there's any easier way or hidden problems- thank you!
