[OMS_MANAGERS] Help!! (window paint)

[Tillamook Main Street]

For future reference:  Window Painting

The local window painter in Tillamook uses interior house paint.  She
outlines in black, fills in with white, and adds color over the white.  She
says if not directly exposed to elements (especially rain), it will last
almost indefinitely.  She only paints on the outside, not inside.

The paint removes easily with an ammonia cleaner and a razor blade.

Regards,

Ruth LaFrance
