Great Job ASH!!!
 
Really nice job Big Guy. Can't even tell there was ever any spray paint there. Keep up te great work! :)
 
I'm guessing hydrochloric acid AKA muriatic acid. What kind of strength and dwell time do you use? I recently ran into what I think is epoxy or some different type of rattle can paint that took several applications. It was pretty fresh and our usual chems had a hard time.

Nice work Ashley.

Nice work Ashley.

there should be very little dwell time at all ?????
 
I didn't have any Taginator or time to order. Tried some stuff from Lowes and it worked a little. Then I tried some caustic mixed pretty stout and it worked a little more. BTW the 25º tip worked much better than a turbo.
After most of it was up I used the HCL and it came right off. Next time I will start with it. Be careful with it, it will kill you if you breath it.

Taginator works pretty good if you let it dwell for awhile.
 
That's one tough job to do. We all know that graffiti removal methods involve abrasive processes or the use of powerful and potentially hazardous chemical solvents, which may damage historic fabric such as the stone facade of a historic building. Laser cleaning although more expensive is likely to be more appropriate.
