Default painting a window?

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,
-T


I must agree with the others. NO paint.

A cheaper option than then window films might be self adhesive white shelf
paper applied only to the glass. That will be fun to remove but no where as
bad as sun baked paint.

1/4" foam board cut to fit inside the glass area is yet another option
though I suspect it will cost more than the shelf paper.
