How to "white wash" a vacant shop window

[trojan0852]

Hello,

I often see vacant shop windows temporarily painted over with something white so they are at least partially opaque.

I want to do this, preferably so it is very easy to just wipe off afterwards. (I've seen sometimes people can simply wipe it off / draw shapes in it with a finger, like a powdery finish).

I thought about watered-down emulsion, but am concerned it may not easily clean off (it's not my shop).

Anyone know what's best to use for this?

Thanks.

I don't know what they used to use but it must haave been cheap. When I was a kid everyone round our way did this when they were decorating their houses (probably something innocuous like quick-lime back then).

Windowlene will do the job.

Windolene.

Ah that makes sense. Looks like I need the Windolene original cream emulsion in the pink bottle.

Thanks.

Although watered-down white emulsion is easy enough to remove with a glass scraper.

Greenhouse shading?
