Printed design on a window that makes the window look cracked?

[strypguy]

I have a client in the entertainment industry that has asked me if it's possible to have a vinyl or film on windows that has the illusion of being cracked and broken. The idea is to be able to still have the light come through as it would normally. Also, to throw a wrench in the process, it is temporary during a promotion for about two months then needs to be removed. What about a thermal print on static cling? I know I should say no but they are a great client. I don't want to say no unless I absolutely have to. There are 5 windows that measure 50in x 125in each. Thoughts? Thanks, John

I have done this with perforated window vinyl

It could probably be hand painted, using just plain white paint.
A little freestyle action which could be scraped off later.

+1 for white. That's really all you need is white.

White uv, solvent, thermal on low TAC clear.

I'd use white latex house paint.
Snap chalk lines on the front of the window as guides and have at it on the inside with Foamies and regular brushes, about a 3 hour job that would cost me less than $30.

You could probably fly Jillbeans in and have it done cheaper than a print haha.

I would be happy to paint it

Had a customer show me the same pic lol. I just used white vinyl - Turned out great. But it would be a pain to remove. Didn't see it was temporary before..Yeah have Jill paint it!
