So whoever painted my Duster before i bought it didnt tape off the tail lights and sprayed grey primer all over the edges and lightly in the middle. Anybody know of a good way to get that off without damaging the tail light, id like to keep it intact if possible..
 
Depends on the quality of the primer. I'd start with mineral spirits on a soft cloth. Test in an inconspicuous location first.
If that doesn't work, I'd get a polish and go to gown on the lens. The polish should remove the paint and help the finish/luster of the plastic. I like to work with some stuff called "Blue Magic"
 
Depending on the type of paint they used, sometimes a damp soft cloth and water and dish soap will loosen the stuff so you can polish it off
 
I've used fine steel wool and while it works perfectly on chrome, you need to be careful on plastic. Nylon mesh can be used on plastic, but it usually takes a bit more work.
 
Soak them overnight in a bucket of water and automatic dishwashing machine soap. Polish with toothpaste.
