anti graffiti on a cube van?

[Sticky Signs]

Got a call from a guy with a cube van that keeps getting tagged. My first idea is of course anti graffiti lam. He doesn't want any graphics on the van, just the ability to easily remove the graffiti. He just wants to do the 2 sides and the back. Now here's the kicker. The cube has rivets.
I've never used anti graffiti lam before so I don't know much about it. I talked to a friend of mine that's used it in the past and he doesn't exactly have great things to say about the stuff. First, it doesn't conform, second, it's not entirely graffiti proof. Yikes, I already don't like the sounds of this.

Has anyone dealt with a similar situation? What did you do? How where the results? Is there a better way to solve this problem? Can you recommend a good anti graffiti lam that is conformable - if such a thing exist?

Thanks

wrap it in white... just replace when it gets tagged if you can't clean it off with a solvent?

buy a gun..guard the van ... shoot anyone that comes close with a a paint can in their hand

so where you planning on laminating vinyl and then wrapping the box truck
or just putting the laminate right on the truck

where you may have a problem is the anti graffiti lam i have seen is polyester and i don't think polyester will conform all that well

it might be more work and time but maybe you can set up a pattern in the computer and cut holes where the rivets are located and then put the vinyl/laminate on

good luck with this one

What about just using XPEL paint protection film on it that you could replace when it gets tagged.

He's either got to keep cleaning the tags up or have someone do pieces on the sides so that kids won't continue tagging the truck.

Thanks for the input. I told the guy to measure his truck and send me the numbers. I'll see if he gets back to me. I'd hate to say it, but I hope this one turns out to be a tire kicker.

Dupont Tedlar is what you want.

SignGold uses this as a laminate.

Wrap it in a design that looks like a graffiti'd wall and let the kids go nuts. Incorporate the problem into your solution!

you could always have the truck painted with a anit graffiti paint and put a clear type of sheeting or vinyl over your lettering if they make it and just wash it off the truck and replace the clear protective film

A few cans of Pam cooking spray will make it easier to remove spray paint.

great post PAM rocks i use it to lubricate everything and it has that great butter smell

yeah, straight silicone spray doesnt smell nearly as good.

WRONG!!!!


If you ain't gonna make shop rate + a profit...why would you do it then anyway???

Take whatever figure you come up with, and DOUBLE IT. If he still wants to do it, then fine. Smile all the way to the bank, and take the crew out for dinner and a movie on this guy's dime!!

How about ClearStar anti graffitti clear?

 

[jason-23]

How about moving to a better area???

 

[jason-23]

or better yet park the car in the crime area and butter the ground around the car....oh and get a video of it.

someone has to invent huge white post-its for sides of box trucks. Every time it gets tagged just take off the top sheet.

 

[Brandon708]

On another note

Tell him to get the sides of the box truck with graphics and his logo on it (wrap). Most likely graffiti artists wont write on it if it's not completely white.
