When you have a business, you want it to look good all the time. That means you also want to have the outside look good. One problem that you may have to deal with is graffiti. That can make the outside of your business look not as good as you would like it to. If you have been hit with graffiti, then you need to contact a commercial painting service to have them come to your location and cover up the graffiti. If you are dealing with graffiti, there are some things that the painter is going to do in order to get rid of it.

Clean Up

The first step is going to be cleaning up the graffiti. Depending on how old it is and how much there is, the painter has a couple of different choices. One is that they can blast off the graffiti. They can use something like sandblasting or soda blasting in order to get rid of the marks. Both of those processes use some kind of grit to scrub off the paint when shot at the wall at high speeds and under high pressure. The blasting process will take off everything on the wall in that area, and there is some clean up involved. Another way to remove the graffiti is to use a chemical solvent. If you are dealing with a small area, this might be a good idea. 

Painting

The next step in the process is to paint the wall. The painter may need to put on some primer before they put on the actual paint color. The primer will make sure that the paint has a nice clean surface to adhere to and that any old color still on the wall gets covered up. After the primer, the painter will put on the color that you want, and that may take more than one coat in order to get a nice, even color with a smooth surface. 

Anti-Graffiti Coating

After the painter has painted the wall, they can put on an anti-graffiti coating over the paint. The coating is clear and is just applied right over the paint. It won't allow spray paint or markers to adhere to the wall. All that has to be done to clean it up is to wipe it by hand or use a pressure washer, and the graffiti will come right off. 

If you have a business, you want your business to look good, both inside and out. Having a commercial painter help with any graffiti problem can help that happen. If you have graffiti on your building, call a painting company like Blue Star Painting Company in your area.
