This <br />sealant, called Graffiti Defenz Sheercoat, was developed by Precita Eyes Mural Arts <br />Company of San Francisco. This clear coat is a UV protectant that seals the color in <br />and delays the fading from sun exposure, providing murals with long lasting color <br />vibrance and brilliance. This sealant also provides protection from tagging, graffiti and <br />other forms of vandalism. By applying the clear coat it provides protectant layer <br />between the art and the exterior elements/vandalism. When vandalized the unwanted <br />tagging/graffiti can be washed off by ‘spray and wipe’ with regular graffiti removal <br />cleaners, such as ‘goof off’. <br />Maintaining and removing vandalism on murals can be an intricate and delicate <br />process. Those doing the maintenance must make sure to not disturb the artwork. For <br />this reason Athen B. Gallery is willing to take on the roll of maintaining the mural sites <br />for a duration of 5 years. A suggested discretionary budget of 5%, or $4,000 should be <br />set a side for this maintenance. The initial 5% or $4,000 will come directly out of the <br />initial budget of this scope, setting aside $1,000 from each of the four murals. If the <br />maintenance goes beyond this 5% or $4,000 over the course of the 5 year period <br />additional funding may be needed for maintenance. The maintenance needs and costs <br />should be reviewed on an annual basis.
