I believe most manus approve mild dish soap and water. Geez, it would
probably come off with just water and some elbow grease.....:-)

Thanks all! We're working on getting in touch with someone from the
module manufacturer who can tell us something substantive before
proceeding.
Best,

The sooner you get started, the easier it is to get off. The paint
is still curing and hardening. Paint doesn't stick well to glass, so
probably mild soap and water ( manufacturer approved) and a nylon
scrubby pad will cure the problem.

I agree with Jason -- call the manufacturer. If the modules don't
have any kind of AR coating you can use a razor blade scraper which

If I am the customer, that painter just bought himself a row of
modules.
As a practical matter, I bet there is little problem with careful
use of some kind of solvent, but who knows what the long term
effects would be, and I certainly wouldn't take on that liability.
Warranty could be an issue, if not some risk immediate damage.
Call the manufacturer. They would be the best reference in this case.

Hi Wrenches,
We have an existing customer who just had their house repainted, and
the painter oversprayed significantly on a row of modules. I haven't
run into this particular problem before, and am at a bit of a loss
about what to recommend to our customer for cleaning up this mess.
Anyone have recommendations of cleaning products or techniques to
use that won't damage the AR coatings or anything else on the
module, yet will remove paint? Or for that matter, what to avoid?
Thanks,
