After a few issues I've finally masked and painted my shell.

The first liquid mask I bought was like painting with treacle and took ages to dry due to being so thick. When it dried it shrunk and lifted in the corners and rippled when I it tried to cut it.

So I bought RCS liquid mask and it's brilliant. Easy to apply, dries quickly and easy to cut. The only problem I had was the paint would stretch instead of tear, I think I was try to remove the mask too soon. How long should I let the paint dry before removing the mask?

I was a bit worried after the first coat as the whole shell went black, but the mask worked perfectly.

I would post a picture but I've haven't finished painting due to running out of paint.
