There are special solvents you can buy to remove silicone (including DOT 5)
from surfaces before painting. I use PPG DX-330
"Acryli-Clean", there are others.
Getting microscopic droplets of it suspended in the air is a real problem,
especially if you do any cleaning with compressed air. I
have a little desktop electrostatic air filter that I run on high for a few
hours before painting, which seems to help a lot.
