Aircraft stripper...

I am unsure if that will harm the PVC Surround or not.

Aircraft stripper and a nylon brush to avoid scratching the glass.

From what I understand from my autoglass guy - you cant get it off

If it's some kind of paint, then methylene chloride-type paint strippers will remove the coating. However, it will also eat the rubber surround, so use it carefully. It may be a conversion process on the surface of the glass, in which case you're out of luck.

My other hobby is model trains. When I need to strip a plastic rail car of its paint, I use brake fluid. I just let it soak for a day, then I wash the bubbled up paint off. All of the layers of paint come off and It does not harm the plastic rail car at all. Try it!, Just put a small dab on the glass and let it sit, then see what happens. Just make sure to clean the glass real good before you paint or you could get fish eye in the paint job.
