Default Will brake cleaner damage engine bearings?

So I sprayed some brake cleaner on my ACLs to clean some crap off, then it occured to me this may do damage to the coating.

Should I be buying another set or am I just being paranoid?

Ive been told the coating that seems to have come off is "an anti scuff type coating for break in but wont affect clearances".
Ive been told Im safe so long as I use a good bearing lube on it.

Any experienced builders that can agree or disagree with this?

you can probably polish them with a cotton cloth and make them look pretty but you will be fine. It is just a flash coating that has come off.
