Nippon Paint keen to support govt decision on spray paint

THE Nippon Paint company will support the Government’s decision on the use of spray paint in the country, says general manager Sam Webb.
He said “graffiti vandalism” in public places was not something people wanted, especially in Port Moresby, the host city of Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation Leaders’ Summit in November.
“It is easy to notice graffiti at the bridges and bus stops, which I personally hate,” Webb said.
“If I am selling a product that needs to be rectified by the government, it is something our company and the board needs to abide by.”
He said with regards to Apec and big events coming up, “we will try put our heads together to help support the event with our partner contractors and dealers”.
The company supported the decision to prevent the unnecessary use of spray paint by graffiti vandals.
“It is not needed in any community and serves no purpose,” he said.
“Obviously the distributers of spray paints condemn the use of graffiti vandalism.”
He said spray paint was one of the products “which we sell but we will follow the decisions from the government”.
He said the Government had spent millions of taxpayers’ money to remove and prevent graffiti vandalism.
“Spending this public money on cleaning graffiti means money is not being spent on things that can benefit the community,” he said.
