Hi All,

I need to opaque out a windows. Since the outside of the house is white,
I was thinking of painting the window white so it would not
look weird from the street.

My big issue is how to clean off the paint when the need no longer
exists. Is there a particular paint that is easy to get off? Or
is there a better way to temporarily opaque a window?

The wife already ruled out foil. Looks too weird from the street.
(She has a point.) And wind would cause havoc on it when I open
up the window. (We have 30 to 60 mph winds out here.)

Many thanks,

I put some Gila window film on several uninsulated panes around my front
door to help in heat loss/gain.

Not quite easy to get all bubbles out but does not look bad and does
job. They have different tints and it would be easy to remove.
