I want to paint something and then remove the 'paint'

OK,

This is for a stage play. We have a few pieces of wood furniture that we would like to paint white for a show, but then remove the color after the run.

So I'm thinking not 'paint' but something else.


Any ideas?

The standard theatre trick is to cover the entire piece with masking tape, paint the tape, and then peel it off. I'm trying to figure out a better option.

This is an old thread.....but could you use contact paper instead of masking tape?
