Did you try wet sanding it?

That's what happened to me... Wetsand and polish like Paz said. If you want the best look here's the steps to take once you get all the VHT off:
Step 1: clean them and sand em up
Step 2: take an air gun and blow all of the crap off
Step 3: mix you paint and your clearcoat together in a paint gun
Step 4: lightly apply each coat of paint but before doing another coat over another give it a little time to dry
Step 5: Once you've got them as dark as you like let em sit in a area with no bugs or anything and let them dry.
Doing this you can go as dark as you want and no light output will be effected. I did my headlight corners like this with 5 shades and at night they're colormatched to the truck but my light output is the same as it was before I painted them. And once they dry a few days later you will notice that they get darker. In this pic it was right after they dried but now in the day time they're much darker, you have to get really close to my headlights to actually see the orange marker and the chrome housing.
