"frisk" ... art shops ... or try Advanced Airbrush (not sure of URL) in Minchinbury Sydney - Wayne Harrision - check out Chris Fraser's http://www.gotpaint.com for info in clear masking.

Most clear masking is okay, you can de-tack it on some still carpet or something to de-tak it a bit....there's also special stuff that is designed to stretch, for doing curved surfaces like helmets.

Not sure what you've got local, but Wayne has online shopping.
