[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by Catt Where do you guys get the idea that these cars are repainted to cover up the grafitti?You must be living in a dream world somewhere off planet.The only time they will get a repaint is when they get a rebuild or maybe sold.The new paint is concidered maintinance and configured into the price of the rebuild. [/quote]I've seen plenty of cars that have had the grafitti painted over and the obliterated dimensional data/reporting marks/COTS labels and such re-applied. Not total repaints, but some pretty major patch jobs, sometimes the entire bottom half of the car. I've also seen a few with small patches that look like they were done to cover up something like a naked figure or obscene word. And I also notice the cops are keeping a closer eye on us photographers, but you're right, they don't seem to be doing much to catch the taggers, which seems odd because some of those guys must be taking a long time to do their "artwork" as it can be quite elaborate on occasion.
