Protect Your Business from Ugly and Profane Graffiti with Graffiti Prevention Coating Products in Melbourne

When done the right way, street art can be beautiful and profound. Some businesses even use it as part of their marketing or branding strategies. However, to qualify as ‘being done the right way,’ street art must be done with the consent and consultation of a building owner. It also needs to have some visual spark or message that reflects positively on the building and business at hand. Most graffiti, unfortunately, does not meet any of these benchmarks—hence the growing need for graffiti prevention in Melbourne.

Art or Vandalism? Where Does Graffiti Fall?

Long has the debate waged about whether graffiti is ‘art’ or ‘vandalism.’ Too often, though, there really is no question. A graffiti ‘artist’ who paints someone else’s property without consent is committing vandalism, whether the resulting work is beautiful or not. In Melbourne, much of the graffiti that litters the walls of downtown buildings and businesses is explicit and profane, with little artistic integrity or value.

Ultimately, business owners can’t afford these strongly negative images or messages on the side of their buildings. Graffiti of this ilk can scare customers away—particularly shoppers or visitors with young kids—and can have an adverse impact on a brand’s image. Many people view graffiti as threatening, or as a sign that danger lurks nearby. As a result, many businesses are investing in graffiti prevention products in Melbourne.

Graffiti Prevention Coating for Your Melbourne Business

At Graffiti Wipeout, we offer a range of graffiti prevention products and services in Melbourne. As a first step, if your building has already attracted unwanted graffiti and you need to remove it, we can handle that type of project. With our chemical paint stripping and commercial power washing services, we can clean every trace of graffiti from the side of your building. We are incredibly responsive in this regard. We know that graffiti can hurt a business’s traffic, reputation, and overall brand if it is left up for even a few days. As such, we always try to be onsite and ready to address your issue within 48 hours of your enquiry.

Unfortunately, cleaning graffiti paint off your walls after it happens is graffiti remediation—not graffiti prevention. Perhaps you just cleaned graffiti off your building and want to take steps to avoid a similar issue in the future. Or maybe graffiti vandals have hit several nearby businesses lately, and you want to protect your establishment?

Either way, Graffiti Wipeout and our graffiti prevention coatings in Melbourne can help. These coatings go on your walls and essentially make it so that graffiti paint cannot bond to the substrate. Instead, if graffiti artists tag your building, their paint will just sit on top of the anti graffiti coating. The next day, you will easily be able to remove the graffiti with water or light solvents.

Keeping graffiti vandals from targeting your building isn’t usually possible without substantial security and surveillance. Luckily, with a graffiti prevention coating from Melbourne’s Graffiti Wipeout, you can make it so that graffiti is not a huge hassle to resolve. To learn more about this service—as well as Graffiti Wipeout’s other anti graffiti products and services—give us a call on 1300 889 831.
