Graffiti Shield For The Ultimate In Graffiti Protection For Kansas City Transportation Hubs

There is a growing trend on mass transit systems here in Kansas City and around the United States called “aggressive” graffiti.  It is costing private business people and taxpayers millions of dollars each year and leaving lasting unsightly vandalism on transit systems when left unremedied.

What Is Aggressive Graffiti?

According to www.masstransitmag.com aggressive graffiti is:

“The practice includes the use of a sharp object like keys, carbide drill bit, knife and even sandpaper. Damage is done by these instruments and carving into the surface, leaving the surface etched and permanent damage is visible for all to see. Some are even using forms of acid and mixing it with a colored shoe polish to make their etching stand out after it dries.”

This type of graffiti looks horrible and is bad for taxpayers and Kansas City mass transit passengers because it is incredibly costly to repair and drives up fair prices and taxes. While we at Window Tint Kansas City can’t prevent graffiti from happening on buses, trains, elevators, and walls in transit stations, we do have low-cost alternative that could save Kansas City and its taxpayer’s hundreds of thousands of dollars a year.  All the while,  keeping our city looking beautiful. It is called Graffiti Shield and it is not only keeping pace with the growing aggressive graffiti trends, it is changing the graffiti removal industry by and large.

What is Graffiti Shield?

Graffiti Shield is a Graffiti abatement film that covers various surfaces in transit stations that struggle with graffiti by way of spray paint, acids, scratches, stickers and more. It comes in a variety of finishes metal, mirror, glass or even custom finishes. These thicker films are roughly 6mm and prevent the surface under the film from being affected by graffiti.  When graffiti occurs, the film is simply removed and replaced in as little as one day for a fraction of the cost of full features removal (see case studies here ).  What our customers love the most about Graffiti Shield compared to traditional graffiti removal is, it costs as little as one-tenth the cost of traditional removal.  The ability to customize Graffiti Shield to surfaces and locations that need protection but may be irregularly shaped or made of an obscure material is also something notable.
