halfords clear lacquer or plasti coat clear before removing window masks, but leave for 24 hrs to cure after before removing window mask. they can be removed before it drys, but be carefull removing them,

+1 on what bigRed said, I use plasticote, works great and I just run the scalpel down the edges of the window mask gently and it seems to help them lift alot more cleanly.

I lightly seal with lacquer, unless i know the shell will be used for an alternative purpose.. ie, an indoor only shell is left without (doesnt rain much indoors..) or most of my Nitro customers prefere to apply thier own.

Default Nitro Block

I use nitro block every time wether its nitro or electric ,but i do use waterbased paints ,nitro block works great with nitro fuel and trye aditives that will splash around the interior of the shell and it copes real well with the extreme temperatures the shell will take ,it takes a long time to paint a shell so to not finish properly would be a crime ,
