How To Prevent Graffiti

In this blog, we will be looking at our graffiti prevention products and how to use them.

In our last post, we discussed the importance of removing graffiti and how our specialist removal services can help. We also talked about how to prevent further attacks with our graffiti prevention products. Today, we will explain exactly how to apply and use these products.

After our team has removed graffiti from an area, they apply a coat of anti-graffiti paint to the surface to stop further graffiti from appearing. However, you may be worried that another area, perhaps your own building or home, could be targeted if graffiti vandals find their favourite spot is now unusable. That’s where our graffiti prevention products come in, in particular our Anti-Graffiti Paint.

Once graffiti like this has been removed, our Anti-Graffiti Paint can stop it from coming back

Using the paint to prevent graffiti on a surface is very easy and straightforward, and our guide below will explain exactly how to do it:-


1. Plan what area you are applying paint to

This might sound obvious, but always make sure you know exactly where you are going to apply the paint. If you go into it without a proper plan, you will probably end up trying to paint too much, which could result in the paint not covering the surface enough. A 5ltr bottle of paint will cover 47m2. 


2. Get the tools you’ll need

All you need to apply the anti-paint is a standard brush…and the paint itself of course. If you don’t already have it, you can buy Anti-Graffiti Paint here.


3. Make sure the surface is clean

Make sure you’ve cleaned off any surface-lying dirt and cobwebs from the surface you’ll be working on. It doesn’t have to be spotless, but clean enough so you can paint easily and effectively.


4. Apply the first coat

Once the surface is ready, apply your first coat. It applies just like normal paint, so paint evenly with straight, fluid motions, making sure the whole area is covered.


5. Leave to dry, then apply second coat

The paint dries very quickly, so you won’t have to wait long until the surface is ready for the next coat. Two coats are plenty to effectively work against graffiti, but feel free to add a third coat if you wish.



With the Anti-Graffiti Paint in place, if the surface is hit by graffiti, all you need to do to remove it is wash the surface with some warm water. No need to hire a professional cleaning team, no need to use strong cleaner to try and scrape the graffiti off; thanks to the anti-graffiti paint, all you need is some warm water!
