Oh, and I'm surprised you didn't post a before before, how it arrived
lol I didn't take a pic of that...
But, for the greater audience, the story goes like this...
The day Rustpot's donated lenses arrived, I get a PM from him asking if I got them. I told him yes but I hadn't opened it yet. He responded with a cryptic "they may not look like fire at first" or something like that...
So I open it and what do I find? They'd been spray-painted a flat white, like a primer, all over both sides. I'm like, "WTF? Did he do that as a prank or something?"
But it turned out to be sprayed plastidip and it peeled off quite easily. And he didn't do it to prank me; he had been using them as an opaque backing to another set of lenses in his case - by blocking the backlight it made the iridium of the other set stand out better. Good idea...
