dc.descriptionThe original anti-graffiti truck was built in 1999 and was discussed in that year’s DSNY Annual Report. The following information may be somewhat dated, but gives a general idea of how the truck works: “As part of the City’s fight against graffiti, the Department’s Bureau of Motor Equipment has designed and built a state-of-the-art anti-graffiti truck. This vehicle is a self-contained unit equipped with a pressure washer, an onboard computer, paint, paint color dispenser, paint mixer and sprayer and spectrophotometer. Using this equipment, BME is able to determine the original color of a graffiti defaced surface, prepare and then paint the surface with an exact match of the original color, completely covering the graffiti. ("Bureau of Motor Equipment," in DSNY Annual Report 1999, ed., Young, Paula. Distributed by the City of New York in 2000, p. 17) This image was culled from a disk of unused DSNY 2006 Annual Report Images. It was originally a jpeg.en
