It will restore a weathered, uncoated mural and is recommended for the preservation of new acrylic and aerosol murals. It is a conservation-grade flexible coating designed as a protective and isolation layer. However, it will not protect against graffiti vandalism alone.
For long-lasting, durable graffiti protection, World's Best Graffiti Coating must be applied over MuralShield. Once a mural is preserved with MuralShield, World's Best Graffiti Coating is easily applied as a sacrificial barrier for graffiti protection, enabling quick removal of all types of graffiti vandalism without damage to the underlying surface.
The final outcome will be a highly maintainable, durable, vibrant mural.

Allow the newly painted artwork to thoroughly cure before applying MuralShield. Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free of contaminants.
2. Apply MuralShield
Apply a first coat, lightly misted (fog coat) using using an airless spray gun (515 spray tip recommended), HVLP, or acetone rated compression sprayer. Apply two to three generous coats, allowing at least 20-30 minutes of drying time between coats. Make sure to overlap your passes to ensure a thorough coating.
