Plastic glasses frames help!

I’m not sure where is best to ask this, but hopefully someone will know!

We’ve had to order child’s size glasses for DS13, as they’re the only ones that will fit us very narrow face. I’ve promised I will get rid of the Star Wars logo that is on both legs of the frames (tres uncool).

Any suggestion on a black spray paint/pen/something that can be used on a small area of plastic to cover over and save his mortification?!

My adult DD has to wear children's glasses because of a narrow face. She has never been reduced to ones with logos on! I am not surprised your son feels mortified - maybe the logo thing is mostly boys' glasses. But my GS (12) has some cool boys' glasses without logos.

Were there no logo-free ones? Can you try another optician? Or online?

What a pain for him. Paint-wise I guess it might be hard to match the exact colour.

Not sure a marker pen will help as the logo, if raised might be still visible. Could try black nail varnish or a small amount of black paint? (Could try those hobby paints for figures).
Personally, I would look at using a small piece of black, heat shrink wrap. Be careful about overheating the plastic frame. If successful it might look more discreet and easily removed.

Tried a gazillion opticians and this was the only frames that suited. It’s maddening there’s so much Batman, Avengers etc crap.

Nail varnish is a good shout, thanks

Car touch up paint? Available widely on ebay

Also are you sure it can’t be scraped off (carefully)?

I hate logos on anything, let alone glasses! The idea of Batman or Avengers on glasses is crazy!
