Default kitchen-sink's splashboard is a window. How to protect fromwater, etc?

Some time ago I asked a similar question, but none of the
suggestions were acceptable to, uh, "she who must be obeyed".

And I forgot to say that the existing splashboard wasn't
just wood, but an actual window, with the usual wood frame,
molding (sp?), pane-separators, etc.

Right now it's painted in an off-white or eggshell
color, via an acryllic paint.

Which is of course getting destroyed, by the usual
water, detergent, etc.

So, here's the question: what kind of paint can we use
to be more waterproof than ordinary indoor paint?

[Sorry, but suggesting tile or glass in front of the
wood would be wasting your breath -- it's a window,
and it has to LOOK like any other (Pella) window in the
house! -- so I've been notified, and it's non-negotiable.]


Under those constraints, ideas?


Thanks!

Hi,
One hint, how about glass blocks? Run your imagination wild!
