A low-cost wire brush is perfect for getting rid of paint from various
surfaces. While the surface may end up looking like it was scrubbed
with a wire brush, the graffiti will considerably fade. It is better to use
the wire brush on surfaces that will weather back to their original
texture or colour over time such as street curbs, telephone poles,
certain rough metals, decorative rocks, smooth stone surfaces,
concrete and wood fences.
While painting over the graffiti on a painted surface is a good idea, it
would be smart to have a solvent that can remove graffiti for the quick
response as fresh graffiti is generally easier to get rid of than older
graffiti. There are numerous products for graffiti removal available in
the market. It can be helpful to research them and familiarize yourself
with them. Learn about how to safely handle and use them. Knowing
about the product you are handling is essential to make sure you are
able to take care of an accidental injury caused by the product.
