what type of paint on glass shop front whilst renovating?

[theflyingpig]

Hi all,

I often see white paint on glass used on shop fronts (or houses being rennovated) that prevents people passing by seeing what is going in inside . . . can anyone tell me what type of paint this is?

thanks!

hi, the paint you are looking for is greenhouse glass shading paint. It comes in white and silver.

Yes. It's an age old trick that used to be used when someone washed the curtains and didn't want anyone to see how poor they were. Then it wipes off and leaves a nice shine.

just use old newspaper with masking tape.
use old copies of the sport then peeps can have a read/look while there loitering outside.

I prefer the windolene idea - instead of scraping masking tape of the window when the time comes I get to kill two birds with one stone, as it was . . . . thanks all.
