To remove paint from the plastic glass, try using the tips of wooden toothpicks to pu***he paint off the glass like you would a pencil eraser. A little rubbing alcohol might help on stubborn spots and won't damage the glass. <br />As for painting the dome frame. Try twisting up the corners of paper towels to a fine point, dip them in the paint and carefully apply it where you want it. When you're done, you can throw them away. That's better than going out buying fine tip paint brushes you have to clean and may only use once in a while. <br />It's not easy to repair damaged glass, but sometimes Elmer's white glue can be used to fill in cracks or chips because it dries clear. Just apply it to the area, then wipe off the excess with a wet paper towel and let dry. <br /> <br />Hope this helps. <br /> <br />trainluver1
