How to remove graffiti from brick?

How do I remove this graffiti from my outside painted brick fence

Hello @Sath 

I suggest using Graffiti Remover on the spray paint in order to remove it. 

However, before you begin, I suggest testing it on a small portion close to the ground. From the photo you posted it appears that the brick fence was painted, and the remover might strip the paint off as well. 

If the brick was painted, I suggest instead to chip off a small portion of the paint (at least the size of a 10c coin) and bring this to the store for a paint match. I recommend using paint that is rated for exterior use. 

I then propose lightly sanding the yellow paint off with sandpaper and repainting the spot with the paint you had colour matched.

If you need further assistance, please let us know.

Thanks Eric, yes I think it has been painted . So don’t use the graffiti remover , just sand and repaint?

Hello @Sath 

Thanks for confirming that, if the brick fence has been painted, I suggest sanding and painting instead. Please don't use the graffiti remover. 

Your objective is to just sand it enough that the yellow spray paint is no longer visible. There is no need to sand all the way down to the bricks surface.

Please keep us updated with your progress, we look forward to seeing your fence free of graffiti.
