This is very odd.
Like Mark and Perry I have never encountered red beehive lenses with paint
on them.
Is the paint on the inside or the outside?
I would have thought that if they were to be painted by Lucas, of which I'm
very doubtful, the paint would have been on the inside.
Can you confirm that the painted lenses have the word LUCAS cast on them
and L594?
