    There's a black rubber seal on all of my windows which I don't want to hit with a paint brush as i want to maintain as close to a factory paint finish as I can ... touch of OCD here..

    Is there an easier way other than using masking tape on all the windows. I'm not that accurate with a paint brush, or is there a process that I can use, e.g. starting from the edge of the seal with a smaller artist brush.

    Consider taking the glass out? Not that hard when you get the knack of it.

    Good suggestion but my windows don't have that option.

    There will be some way to get the glass out surely?

    The windows are in a wooden style and have no visable gaps where you can do the above. would be great if i could because one of the windows is very difficult to access on the first floor over a canopy.

    Learn how to be accurate with a paint brush / pull the seal / masking tape. Thems the options. Trying to remove glass is asking for trouble.

    Unless its a myriad of small georgian panes or something, masking doesn't take that long.

    Just to add, you haven't a hope in hell of getting a factory finish with a brush.
