What is anti graffiti paint?
Anti graffiti paint is a protective coating that reduces the ability of graffiti paint, spray paint and inks to bond with a wall or surface. A permanent anti graffiti coating can create a durable barrier so graffiti can be easily removed during cleaning, helping save time on the building.
Unlike normal paint, anti graffiti coatings are selected for resistance to chemicals, wear and repeated cleaning. Promain offers water based coatings and other resin coatings, including water based options and a clear glaze for compatible painted surfaces.
Does anti graffiti paint work?
Yes, when the anti graffiti coating suits the substrate and is applied correctly. It can protect surfaces from graffiti, permanent marker pen, traffic film, dirt and grime. The protective coating does not stop vandalism, but it can make graffiti removal faster.
Best performance depends on preparation, adhesion, correct film build and the cleaning method stated by the manufacturer. Promain recommends a small test where finish or compatibility is uncertain.
Which anti graffiti coating is best?
The best anti graffiti coating depends on whether you are treating concrete, stone, brick, wood, masonry or existing paint. Promain recommends considering porosity, exposure and service conditions before purchase.
Permanent coatings suit frequent graffiti attacks. Sacrificial systems can suit porous masonry where breathability matters. Public buildings, schools, bridges, transport hubs, street furniture and fences may need durable coatings so building owners can deal with repeated graffiti removal.
Permanent and sacrificial coatings
Permanent anti graffiti coatings remain after cleaning and are designed for repeated cycles. Centrecoat R267 is a washable non-sacrificial coating, while Coo-Var coatings give Promain customers additional protective coatings for graffiti-prone areas.
Sacrificial coatings are removed with the graffiti and then renewed, often using low-pressure hot water on suitable stone or brick. To remove a permanent coating itself, use the compatible stripper stated by its manufacturer.
Where can anti graffiti paint be used?
Promain anti graffiti paint can suit concrete, brick, stone, masonry walls, painted surfaces, public buildings, schools, bridges and other graffiti-prone areas. Some coatings are for interior and exterior use, so check the product data sheet.
An anti graffiti coating can also protect murals and commissioned art where the original image must remain visible. Test first because a clear coating may alter sheen or colour on porous materials.
How should the surface be prepared?
Remove loose material, dust, dirt, old graffiti and contamination. The substrate should be sound, clean and dry to the standard required by the chosen Promain coating. Good preparation supports adhesion and durability.
On previously painted surfaces, review compatibility and use the specified primer where required. This is good practice before protecting a large wall, especially where the existing coating is unknown.
How do you apply anti graffiti coatings?
You can apply many anti graffiti coatings by brush, roller or spray. Promain listings show whether a second brush, roller or spray method is suitable. Two-part coatings need careful mixing, while a professional sprayer may suit larger surfaces and spray application.
Apply the stated number of coats at the specified coverage. Some coatings use one coat while others need primer. Some coatings are classified as hazardous, so Promain recommends the current TDS and SDS.
How is graffiti removed from protected surfaces?
Use the cleaning method specified for the protective coating. Graffiti removal may involve compatible chemicals, graffiti wipes, water or controlled pressure. The aim is for graffiti to be easily removed without damaging the coating or substrate.
WD-40 is commonly suggested online, but Promain does not recommend it as a universal graffiti removal solution. Use a purpose-designed remover that matches the paint and surface.
Can anti graffiti paint help with fly posters?
Some anti graffiti coating systems can also help protect against fly poster attacks. This may help where vandals target walls, shutters or street furniture. Check the chosen Promain coatings because performance varies.
Can you paint over an anti graffiti coating?
Sometimes, but permanent anti graffiti coatings can resist new paint adhesion. Promain recommends checking the existing coating and using the correct preparation or primer before overcoating.
