Tricky stripping paint problem

I don't ask many question, but I have a small problem now.

I aplied some smoke Tamiya paint over a nice CF hood. I just wanted it to be darker.

The first coat was great. then I put a second one.. Wrong ! the second coat is too dark now. I would like to strip the smoke paint, but keep the carbon (that took me 2 hours of work)

Is it even possible ? Sanding a bit + clearcoat ?

Thanks for idea.

Tamiya paint was acrylic or lacquer?

Lacquer :(

Acrylic would have been easy to not hurt the decals.

i have a similar problem. i did a great CF job on the hood of my skyline. but i didnt clean off the residue from from micro-set,micro-sol. i then clear coated it with Tamiya Lacquer and no you can see spots all over it. my first time with CF. any help. sorry Vric im in the same boat. :disappoin

I found something

Try Automobile Coumpond. it will take much time, but you will remove the paint and it won't hurt the decals.

Just did it, and it work

thanks alot! ill try it tonight. i thought of this but i was afraid decals would be damaged. thanks again for being the test subject hehe

well SMS CF decal with lot of Microsol was ok after this

just be sure to go easy on the edges.
