Thanks Kurt!
Looks like the manufacturer is fine with any mild cleaner. We'll let the
painter have the fun!
Cheers,
Louis

Latex paint can be removed with alcohol. Probably a rag damped with it
would do the trick. It evaporates quickly. Still better check with
manufacturer 1st.

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

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

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,
