You might try different solvents. Such as carb cleaner or lacquer thinner. I'd try on a part you won't see when the telescope is fully assembled. If all else fails use a wet sand paper and re paint. The factory finish is usually a baked on type that lends itself well to cleaners. You might also think of using a green scrubby. Although this might dull the finish. You might then wish to recaot with a gloss or satin clear designed for metal. Good luck in your endeavor.How do you remove a layer of paint from a painted metal surface?
That'll be tough. I'd go with a small penknife or Xacto knife and chip/scrape it away slowly, and use rubbing alcohol for the remanents.
