Some more random commentary on cover-ups. Full-coverage paint-overs are generally a really bad idea. It invariably looks terrible since no one likes to take the time or effort for a perfect color/shading match. A heavy coat of paint means its there forever vs spray paint which can fade or wear off sometimes. If it is on a climbing route, it leaves a slippery surface that totally sucks.

Heavy handed cover-ups also just present a blank canvas for retaliatory tagging directly over the same area. The uber-mess up at Bat Rock is a direct result of a certain misguided do-gooder using house-paint to cover tags. It looks a million times worse now and f*#ked up about a year's worth of gradual removal effort on my end.
