Default Clear body painting

Does anybody know what I can use on my body to keep parts of it clear?

Liquid mask is nice if you have close trimming skills.

LOL! Pardon me for not being clear with my post. I meant keep it clear and not paint it at all, but keep it protected from scratches and fading.

I doubt anything you put on the Lexan will be any more durable than the bare Lexan itself. I'd simply leave it alone if you want it to remain clear, IMO.

Most bodies have a clear plastic film to protect it from overspray.

why would you want your body clear unless its a show buggy and whats inside is better than the outside.
