A few years ago, I got a call from one of my many steel industry customers to letter 25 coil cars on location in East Chicago, In.
The cars were delivered un-marked, freshly painted, clean as a whistle. My crew and I made the lettering (white reflective), installed them,
and watched as they rolled down the tracks with full loads heading to Los Angelas, the company's west coast branch.
A week later, they were returned for a new load. In the meantime they were tagged with white spray paint, swear words all over them, gang signs, and the other
crap you see on rolling stock. We cleaned them up at the owners expence, and a month later they were tagged again in L.A.
I don't have a shot of the tagging, but it was a mess. How would they feel if I did that to their vehicle?
Here's the project before the mess.
All involved were very upset.
P.S. I have many shots of locomotives and freight cars I've lettered if intrested.

I agree with Dejoh. I think taggers wouldn't be too happy if their car was covered in some pointless word. "Face" "Eyez" Ok, you're smart enough to name body parts... woopie.
