The only liquid mask I've ever used that did not result in a solid half hour of cursing is Parma's Magic Mask. It's made specifically for clear lexan R/C car bodies, but I use it on regular models all the time.

[quote="AndrexP"]Can any of you folks recommend a liquid masking product that will work with acrylics?

I have used several of these successfully with enamels, but they all failed with the Testors acrylics (MM or PollyScale), leaving behind a pretty-adherent layer of gummy paint that was no easier to remove than the actual paint. I'm guessing that spraying a water based paint over a water-based masking product just won't do...

Gunze Sangyo Mr. Maskingsol works well but you need to apply two or three thin layers.

I've experienced no problems with Humbrol Maskol over Tamiya acrylics.
