Paolo

The whole point is that forums like the CIU exist to help people.  If you decide to ask for help and advice on a forum and you get that help and advice then the general idea surely is to take that advice???  Otherwise if you ignore it what was the point in asking!

The advise you all gave me was much appreciated . The forum is here to help everyone pros and newbies.  obviously some of you would of come across these problems so thats why i posted.  Graffiti removal is something i want to expand into, So  that's why i decided to go ahead with the job . The only way your going to come across these problems is by taking  them on  and learning .  A training  day which i got paid for  ;D

Paulo, Experience is needed, of course, but if you are told the right way to tackle a problem that you have not come across before(by people who have carried out this type of work many times), and decide to ignore them then what was the point in asking in the first place?
Yes you got paid for the job, but I doubt you will get any more work from the customer. Its not a case of earning your wage for the day, its building relationships with companies by carrying out the job to the best standard,  to make sure they come back.

As i said before i took the job on as training.  I have learnt from the job and yes i should of taken the your advice.  The building is not in use and will be demolished at some point  . I asked the management company if they considered  re painting,  as the paint was flaking , which they did not want . Too costly
This was why i took the job.
Every job i take on I give 100%   even the one's which i shouldn't of taken .
The client was happy with the removal of the graffiti.
I worked hard on that job and removed wot i could .   You can do a great job and still not get called back thats how it is.  ;D
