To remove paint from glasses lenses, use hot vinegar. Microwave the vinegar until it boils. Wear rubber gloves to protect your hands. Soak a rag in the hot vinegar and gently scrub the lenses until the paint softens. Rinse the lenses with dish soap and water. Finally, use an eyeglass lens cleaner to restore clarity.
If paint remains, consider using rubbing alcohol. Dab a small amount on a clean cloth and gently rub the paint spots. This method is effective for water-based and some oil-based paints. Always test an inconspicuous area first to ensure the alcohol does not damage the lens coating.
For stubborn spray paint, you may use a razor blade specifically designed for glass. Hold it at a 30-degree angle and carefully scrape off the paint. Be cautious to avoid scratching the lenses. After removal, rinse the lenses with clean water and dry with a soft cloth.
