Mural Protection Coating

What This Service Involves

Community murals represent significant public investment and deserve protection that does not alter their appearance. We apply UV-stable clear coatings that allow tags to be removed without lifting the artist's paint underneath. Product selection accounts for the mural's paint system and the region's frequent overcast, damp conditions. When a coated mural is tagged, removal follows a documented method that keeps the original intact.

Benefits

Artwork-safe coatings that leave color and sheen unchanged; UV protection that slows fading in exposed locations; tag removal without damaging the underlying mural; guidance provided to future maintenance crews; extended service life for community art investments

Our Process

1) Consult the artist or commissioning body on the paint system used; 2) Test the coating on an inconspicuous area for compatibility; 3) Apply the clear protective system across the mural; 4) Document the product and the approved removal procedure

What Affects the Cost

Mural size and surface complexity; coating product and number of coats; access equipment for tall walls; compatibility testing time; ongoing removal support if contracted

Best Time of Year

Application is scheduled for warm, dry summer windows when the coating can cure fully before autumn rains return.
