No joke this time - some little brat has been 'creative' with spray
paint and I need to remove it, any ideas would be appreciated - aside
of those I have already thought of like stringing the little %$% up!

Paint shops will know.

Thanks one and all, but we have had an even better result,log
this info. just in case for future reference.

Try your local council - even if your property is private -
that's what we were advised to do.
The council here are trying to clean up the area
and will remove graffiti free of charge if it is reported and is
in a visible/unsightly place that is noticable (which ours is)
this is in order to make the place look better and cleaner.
They hope to be down in a few days to get rid of it for us, so a
great result!!!!!!!!!
