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.)

People used to use cake Bon Ami. Doesn't look great.

Yeah, stores used to use it during remodeling so you couldn't see in, but
when wiped off it sure cleaned the glass thoroughly. I used to use it to
clean the inside and out of car windows (in the '50s) after body work and
painting, got all the dirt, grime, smoker's film and paint overspray off the
glass, leaving it crystal clear.
