Some kids got crazy with spray paint.

We just installed the signs a couple of weeks ago. They had a reflective white vinyl faces with black letters.

Anyone have a magic formula for removing spray paint?

Since it is all vinyl...try Oven Cleaner ...leave it on for about a minute, then hose it off!

*NOTE* 1. Wear gloves, oven cleaner will eat your skin!

2. Test in an inconspicuose area, first!

If it's a 3 reflective Lacquer thinner will take it off ...just don't get to carried away...some shake n' shoots will come off with alcohol.
The background may be the real problem tho!

If you get it while it's still fairly fresh, Roger's Rapid Remover does a great job. Spray some on a rag & carefully rub the paint off. I wouldn't go near latex with it though.
And like the others mentioned, test first.

Havin' fun,

If you find that this is going to become and ongoing problem, I recommend contacting the customer and offer to cover the signs in tedlar vinyl (for a profit of course). That way, the vandals can spray all they want. The paint will just wipe off.
