Remove Graffiti From COLORBOND® steel

Unfortunately fences and walls are subject to defacement by graffiti.

Numerous graffiti removers or anti-graffiti coatings are available on the market, which claim to deal with this problem when it affects COLORBOND® prepainted steel. The effect of these chemicals on the performance of COLORBOND® steel cannot be guaranteed and use of those chemicals will void BlueScope Steel’s warranties.

Chemicals such as Acetone, Methylethyl Ketone, Toluene, Thinners or commercial Paint Strippers used as graffiti removers must never be used on COLORBOND® steel.

DuPont™ advises that its product is a non hazardous, biodegradable water based product, which can be sprayed on affected surfaces with generally good results.

DuPont™ Graffiti Remover (EZ-3463™) can typically be purchased from suppliers of fencing made from COLORBOND® steel, or from Bunnings Warehouse hardware outlets.

IMPORTANT - It should be noted that graffiti should be removed from all substrates as quickly as possible because if it is allowed to cure over a period of time it can be more difficult to remove.
