The Pueblo Weisbrod Aircraft Museum in Pueblo, CO has obtained an
F-104 Starfighter from the US Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs.
The canopy seems to have some sort of paint or coating on the inside
of the canopy. Does anyone know of a way to remove it without damaging
the canopy? Thank you in advance for any help you might be able to
provide.

DO NOT use paint remover! The TCE in the paint remover will certainly
craze the plastic.

You might try denatured alcohol or isopropyl alcohol, which will not
attack the plexiglass.

You might have to resort to polishing the paint away with up to 2000
grit wet sandpaper, plus polishing compound.
