I would think normal polycarbonate paint for RC bodies? Not to sure, never used liquid mask yet.

Liquid mask is like am Elmer's glue thar dries. From there you can cut out a design peel it, paint it, peel the rest and paint another color. It's basically a liquid masking tape.
Everyone's going to post their favorite brand and I will share my experience with the following brands of aerosols for polycarb:
Tamiya - Too thin for my liking, it requires 3-4 very thin coats, I tend to spray on too thick and get a runny mess with this brand
Spazstix - My personal favorite, perfect thickness to spray 2 light coats to get perfectly even coverage with no runs
Duratrax - My backup when Spazstix is out of stock, color selection isn't as good but spray quality is similar
If you want professional results then invest in a high quality air brush and spend lots of time practicing.
I choose to keep things simple and use masking tape with aerosols, here's my most recent paint job from last week using Spazstix:
