[RE-wrenches] Cleaning Paint Off Modules

[Jason Szumlanski]

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.
