Paint on Lense
« on: September 29, 2003, 10:30:11 AM »
I need some help. While doing camo touch-up on our duckblind, one of the guys hit my binoculars with the spray paint.  Not a direct hit, but a fair amount of spray to one of the 50mm objective lenses.  Any expert advice on how best to remove this without damaging?  Any help woould be appreciated.  Thanks.

Use acetone and a Q-tip. Do it quickly. The pain may take off the coating if left too long. Acetone will not hurt the lens or coating. I use it to clean mine and did so when I worked for the US Army in their optic shop.
