Mask the clear parts.



Or use an EZ-Mask, Fast Mask, or any similar product:

I usually have some kind of window in my kit by the time I'm painting or weathering or camoflaging.
I use liquid mask. Different brand than the previous post, same idea. It works Great.
I usually paint it on ALL over the canopy fairly thick. Then when totally dry I come back in with a brand new sharp #11 blade and cut/trim the excess and the portion of the canopy frame that will receive paint. This give it a nice crisp line.
