Hi Paul.
Sorry, Ive only just seen your post.
I use Humbrol Maskol. Its purple in colour and comes in a small 28ml bottle.
Its fine to use on clear parts and leaves no residue.
Dont forget to always dip your clear parts in Johnsons Klear and leave to dry for at least 24 hours before doing anything with them. Apart from really making them shine it acts as a protective barrier.
I often thin Maskol with water, which allows it to flow into the corners of any recessed windows etc.
Hope this helps

Hi Paul,
Although I've never tried it apparently Humbrol maskol turns white paint a shade of purple. Could be interesting
