Stop Graffiti With Protective Coatings!

Graffiti can be illegal “tagging” that gets the artist recognition, intricate commissioned murals, or gang symbols. Regardless of the type, if it is on your building or other structure without permission, it is vandalism. Graffiti can detract from your business’ professional appearance and property value. Getting rid of graffiti early is key to stopping more from happening, and anti-graffiti coatings are the best way to eliminate a graffiti problem.

Initial Preparation
If graffiti is showing up on your commercial or industrial structure, preparation is key to proper removal. When it is on painted surfaces, light surface preparation and new topcoat painting jobs are often satisfactory for a start. When graffiti is on surfaces like exposed brick or concrete, your painting contractor may need to use more extensive surface preparation such as sandblasting to completely remove it before applying anti-graffiti coatings.

Anti-Graffiti Coating Application
Once the graffiti is removed, the wall might be seen as an inviting blank canvas unless you apply anti-graffiti coatings. These are clear coatings that put an invisible defense by sealing the substrate against spray paint soaking in, and they allow for quick and easy washing off of future graffiti.
They come in two main types: sacrificial and permanent.

Sacrificial coatings are typically wax-based. If graffiti is painted on a wall protected with a sacrificial anti-graffiti coating, the coating can be quickly pressure-washed off, taking the graffiti with it. A new coating can then be applied.

Permanent or non-sacrificial coatings protect the substrate from spray paint with a film of tough polyurethane or another base. When graffiti is painted over this it can be removed with solvents that leave the anti-graffiti coating intact.

Anti-graffiti painting services are effective for nearly any surface, including brick, concrete, wood, metal, various paint finishes, etc. If you are interested in protecting your facility from graffiti or in dealing with an existing graffiti problem, give us a call!

Chris and Gabriel were amazing. Corey was patient and helpful in answering questions and while I decided on colors. The office was easy to contact and had good follow-through. Thank you so much to Brooks for a job I could not possibly be happier with. Feel free to use me as a reference!

My experience with Brooks Painting has been outstanding, and, if it were an option on Google, I would assign 100 stars to their work. Mark and his crew were exceptional in painting both the inside and outside of my Central Davis home. They were considerate, careful, and respectful of my furnishings and yard. Kristen and her office staff were also responsive to my queries and were timely in scheduling the work. Thank you Brooks Painting for assisting in transforming my house into a beautiful home!

Brooks Painting has be in business a long time in our area. As a native resident we have seen and heard of their professional & quality painting. In looking for bids on painting our house Brooks was referred numerous times. When Jeremy came out to meet us we were sold on using their services and looked no further. Every aspect of this company was very upfront, professional and made us feel safe, valued and comfortable hiring them. The office staff kept good communication with us. The color matching was perfect. The crew showed up on time, were respectful and did a great job from prep to the final end of the project. The warranty offered was a plus and the liability coverage gave us peace of mind also. The price was well worth all that was included in the project so we had little to do but move our stuff away from the house. Thank you Brooks painting, crew and staff for making our home new again :)

Brooks Painting painted our home in Sacramento in March of 2022. Tim did a great job power washing our home. Corey, Flint, and Kristen were very helpful in the bid and. planning. process. The painting crew was excellent. Arrived on time each day and the project was finished in 5 days as promised. All worked very hard.

We chose Brooks Painting based on their excellent reputation. It was an excellent choice! We had them do a complete exterior and almost complete interior painting of our two story house. They were done separately, while we were out of town. We are very pleased with the quality of the work. They even fixed up a few mistakes made by a crew that painted a portion of our interior ceilings a month prior (removal of asbestos popcorn ceiling), at no extra charge. Cleanup was great, also. They repaired some dry rot that was uncovered (extra charge, but worth it), and they even moved furniture back into place as well as put back the curtain rods that I had taken down, which wasn't expected. I highly recommend them, and will use them again for any future paint jobs.

Another great job by Brooks Paining. they did a great job on our trim painting and siding varnish. They were very timely and considerate of our home and property. This is our 3rd time in 19 years utilizing Brooks Painting. We haven't been let done. 👍👍

What a difference!! We hired Brooks Painting to do both an interior refresh painting and a completely new exterior color. Everything was handled professionally and as promised. The team, from estimator to office to painters on site, was responsive, friendly and skilled. Brooks Painting is the most reliable contractor we have ever hired. Thank you Jeremy, Dan, Israel, and Kristen.
