Graffiti, will this come out?

[Chris Dubbs]

Bid this last year, and the PM tried it themselves. Paint came off, but now it's stained, or not weathered like the rest of the brick. Any ideas?

Looks like a complete building wash to me. There is no way to reestablish that patina. And that is why you let pro's be pro's.

I bid just graffiti, And the whole side of the building. Now I'm thinking they threw everything at it and it's going to need sandblasted or something. Oh well there loss.

I wonder if Craig's F9 Calcium and Efflo stuff would work on that. It appears they were able to get close to the original brick color.

I have some Efflo, and can try it. I'm going to go do a test spot on Friday.

Are those bricks painted or is that calcium?

I think they came that way. How do you tell if they are painted or not? Looks like the factory colored brick to me.

No matter what you try there will always be some sort of shadow....they done ruint it...quote high and under promise and hope you can over deliver.

Bare brick graffiti remover should take it off I would think.

Gonna try a few things plus heat to see if emulsifies the solvents. Doesn't work I'm walking.

looks to me as if instead of the paint being on the brick it is now in the brick. If they had let you do your thing when the paint was fresh you may have stood half a chance of removing it. Just tell them sorry its to late to involve you.
