DIY Window Paint
Geat for the holidays or if you have a car for sale.
washable paint (like tempura paint)
dishwashing liquid
The more paint you use the thicker and harder to clean it will be. Use a basting brush or other paint brush. Wipes off most surfaces when wet but only comes off glass easily when dried.
