Community Graffiti Clean Up Day to Remove Graffiti Tags from Park in Watsonville, California

Local artists and students in Watsonville, California organized a community graffiti removal clean up day. The effort helped to remove extensive graffiti from the local park located close to the local school. By painting murals, the organizers hope to change the atmosphere in the park and discourage future graffiti attacks.  Graffiti was painted over metal fences, concrete and other surfaces. 

Mural painting is a excellent way to remove graffiti. But the effort must be ongoing. Graffiti taggers will soon return and vandalize again. The community must be prepared to quickly remove the new graffiti. The more quickly, the new graffiti is removed, the less likely the taggers are to return.  After a few cycles where the community can quickly remove the new graffiti, taggers are likely to move on to less aggressively protected sites.  

To remove new graffiti, fresh paint is always an option, especially if the spot has been painted before. For murals, a best practice is to apply an anti-graffiti coating, either sacrificial, semi-sacrificial, or a permanent nano anti-graffiti coating. This protects the murals against graffiti attack and makes future graffiti removal from their surface possible without damaging the original mural itself.
