    razor blade ,paint scrapper perhaps try heating is up it hot water and then freezing it suddenly perhaps the plastic has different shrinking and expansion tempreture therefore splitting itself in two and just peel it off,maybe.

    I read somewhere nail polish remover or something like that will take the green off but don't quote me on that. Also the LEDs will have some dark/bright areas because they can't spread the light as effectively as normal bulbs, I think you can get concave ones I think but don't quote me on that either.

    yeah u cant remove the green film on these models as they r made from a green laminate. Best way around it is 2 get custom dials made up we've found.
