Help with graffiti removal pricing/job in general

I got a call from a woman looking to get some graffiti removed. The graffiti is only a couple weeks old (not sure if that matters)

What product can I use? Preferably something I can get at Home Depot or Lowes, she is looking to get it done this week ASAP.

This section is about 6’x15’ or so

The piece on the left is about 6’x4’ and the right is about 2’x3’

The Dino tag is about 5’x4’
The other smaller ones are about 2’x3’

This is on a newly painted brick building, and some of the tag is on a freshly painted wood siding. All the same color just different surfaces.

I’ve never done a graffiti removal job, but after looking into this I think I can make this job work.

Look forward to hearing any and all input, mostly chemicals, technique, and a price estimate,

Thanks in advance guys

I’m curious to the advice you received. You mentioned it was on painted brick, something tells me that if you apply a graffiti remover you’d be stripping the underlying paint as well and then you’re looking at a whole new world of problems.

I gave [MENTION=5310]Lsmain[/MENTION] a call after I posted the thread, he suggested worlds greatest graffiti remover at first. But at the end of the conversation and after going more in depth he ultimately said that painting over would be the path of least resistance for this job.

For the future I’m going to be grabbing some worlds best graffiti remover just to have it on hand for next time.

I have this job scheduled for noon today after some route, I’ll post later on how everything goes.
