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 is slow but thorough. -August

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.

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?
