        I doubt the lenses are glass, which means the solvents in spray paint will be, effectively, impossible to clean off without damaging the lens in the process. I doubt they have a maintenance team with such finesse as opposed to one that just replaces the device, just every other US support service.

          I’ve suggested paint before, and several people replied that there things have coatings on the lens that resist paint and other chemical attacks.

          It’s almost like flock anticipated that people would be pissed off at them…

            Put a blowtorch on the end of a long stick, maybe one of those two-part sliding ones that they use for pool skimmers and stuff. Melty, blistered plastic doesn’t pass light very well.
