On most of them I've seen that were painted by the army it looks like they just stuck some masking tape very crudely on the glass and sprayed the whole thing. Do it too neatly and it won't look "authentic". I like the wax/vaseline idea though. I'll have to try it sometime. The trick, though, would be to get it on all of the glass but nothing but the glass, which seems to be trading one neat painting job for a different neat painting job.
