How to install lenses without scratching painted frames?

Ive made a custom paint job on my Topcoat but when I’ve got to install the lenses I’ve hurted the new paint job.That sucks...
As it’s an old receipt O-Matter I was afraid off breaking the frame opening up the orbital too much to make the lenses fit...I’ve lost a Copper Topcoat a long time ago changing lenses...
Im not a pro painter...I preffer to work in raw material as X Metal, Titanium or O-Matter but some Oakleys deserve to change color...
Some advice???

I am always worried to use any kind of Chemicals on lenses.
I even try to avoid Dish washing Detergent.
 
I have left it for 72 hours, the time the clear ask to cure...I’ll try it with more drying time now...
And maybe less or thinner coats on this areas???
Anyway...I loved it in yellow!!!
Thanks guys!!!
