Default Help Needed

Help needed I'm new to heli , I bought a use Blade CX2 from ebay and already I change the boom tail,skid and canopy all from Xtreme . This my first time doing this and had been doing a lot of searching on u-tube ,
1. Do I clean it first and with what?
2. It came with a white mask tape that it's to cover the inside window , OK I taught it would had been 1 peace but came in 2 half's , Do I cut it as one or do I have to peel each one off to put on the inside window ?
3. I will be going to the hobby store next week to see if they carry paint , thinking of just going white with black window to start. To spray do I go lite coats 4 or more times and let dry in between before taking off the the window tape?
4. And the window after taking off the protective tape do I just spray the inside black , will it make the white discolor?
5. After it's all dry , remove all the outside film

help thank you.

After spraying 4 or more coats of whit paint ,should I spray a coat of clear-coating before painting the window black or what ever color I choose . I just don't want to make the white paint look a dirty or a off white color.

will could not for the life of me get that sponge tape on the window to mask, I end up going to the local rc store an bought liquid mask , added 5 layers thick and painted . is my first time I should had let the paint dry for a couple of days before removing the liquid mask it kind of pull the paint along the edge off , I also rub the liquid mask off with out first using a eko knife to score around the edge before peeling it off . ounce I took off the protected film on the outside it didn't look to bad except along the edge of the window canopy. it will not be the last time to try again!
