Hello,
A few weeks ago we had some graffiti thown up on our back fence. A
guy at home depot suggested some mild spray used specifically for
graffiti but it didn't say anything about removal from wood so I
picked up some lacquer thinner as well. The thinner worked ok, but
not what I was hoping for. The paint now looks faded, but still
definitely visible. Not sure if there are any other chemicals I could
use or if I should go straight for the sand paper.

Any thoughts on how to remove the spray paint from unfinished wood
would be very helpful.

Pressure washer. My next door neighbor did this -- I don't know if he
added chemicals or not -- and I watched and it came right off. Took
10 minutes or so. Although there

I agree that this with you 100% but ftr my n'bor waited months. Of
course the fence was wood. It was an almost new peeled picket fence,
where the outside face is shaped like a parentheis, and not smooth.
Sanding would not have gotten low spots.

Be careful where you point the pressure washer. They're dangerous.
And even be careful on the wood until you know what will take off too
much would and what won't. My n'bor didn't seem to have problems but
his fence was almost new.


BTW, the stockade fence is a few years old now, and one can see
betweeen the pickets. Does that mean they didn't age the pickets like
they should have?
