    Fantastic work. Even the shadows look real – and the car, I would have sworn it was a photograph. Well done 😀

    Beautiful artwork
    Is this a mixture of one shot enamel and custom spraying?

    The only thing I could think of for protecting the work is to give it a few coats of frog juice….. at least if vandals did get at it with spray or the like, it would be possible to rub down with fine grade and recoat with frog juice

    At the NEC last year they were promoting an anti-graffitti spray that you could use over vinyl and digital prints – Can’t remember the company but they were also promoting the vehicle wrap.

    There is a product called FASTFITI 5 year anti graffiti film. I know Cox plastics do it but others may. I have never used it so feedback would be welcome if anyone else has

    Hi Terry,

    I’ve used a graffiti film over painted signs. Tended to give a slight haze over the surface that spoilt the sharp clean look of the paint otherwise it worked OK.
    It may have been the particular brand I used, others could be better. I got it from Spantex I believe, very expensive.
    If you wanted to test and are not in too much of a hurry, I have a small amount left and could let you have a sample though a supplier would probably oblige in that respect.

    i read some place recently that mactac have a new anti-graffiti film.. impossible for the likes of spray paint etc to hold onto… dont quote me on it being mactac i think it is though…if so i recon the price will be better than the cox or spandex material solutions
