There is a product sold in many hobby shops called Microscale Micro Mask. It's a latex based, liquid masking medium that you brush on and dries to a rubbery skin. It's great for masking intricate shapes like headbages. After you spray the frame and it has dried, you just peel the mask off. However, the mask may react with different types of paints, so test on some scrap, before you use it on your frame. A 1 fluid ounce bottle generally costs about $2.50.
