Anti-Graffiti Coatings
Bridges and other steel structures are often subject to vandalism. People will use spray paint to graffiti obscene pictures, words, and images on large surfaces. Bridges and other steel structures are the most popular surfaces for graffiti because the images and words are displayed to the public. Graffiti can be very difficult to remove and require many hours of manual labor. Instead, anti-graffiti coatings are a much more affordable option. Anti-graffiti coatings create a protective surface that the spray paint cannot adhere to. You can easily remove the graffiti with regular maintenance.
