Graffitti on Stucco ... Ideas??

[Pams Pressure & Clean 64]

We have a client that has a commercial property that has been attacked by a vandal and a spray can.

Synthetic Stucco, tan or stone in color, blue spray paint...

We clean a fair amount of synthetic and do well with it using our low pressure and the proper chems, but have never attempted removal of something like this.

Any ideas from the more experienced, or is this a case of paint over it and hope for the best?

I don't know the brand name specifically Jim, but it is a safe assumption in this region to say yes.

It is a skim coat mortar finish on foam/mesh backer. The structure is fairly new, and unlike some of thier other properties has had no touch up painting that I am aware of, so again it is a safe bet to say that this is the original stained mortar finish.

You can try strippers? With this type surface you will see changes or it has to be re-coated.

That's what I was afraid of... The owner has not really said alot about it, but I know that the question is on the horizon and I wanted to have the best possible answer.

Which in this case, seems to be what I was thinking.. "We can try, but don't expect dramatic results.."

Thanks Jim,

Cujo
