Paint successfully removed from vandalized Native-American murals

Using tall ladders and employing hoses and a lot of elbow grease, a half dozen people Wednesday successfully removed painted graffiti from the Native American murals at the Wilson-Pacific School campus.

Among the people helping artist Andrew Morrison were his dad, Gary, who used to make a living as a house painter, friends and a few neighbors.

The paint came off really well, Morrison said, because it was water-based, and it didn’t have enough time to dry and harden under current weather conditions.

Morrison seemed very upbeat and expressed gratitude for all the support he is receiving from the community.

He said the next step will be to do a few touch-ups and cover all the murals with a special graffiti-repellent coating.
