Yeah I was going to say "maybe it doesn't react to dot 3 break fluid, or etch like chemicals."
That dot 3 leaves a ghost when you add it to the ink mix that eats regular water based paints. Etch would get in good with glass.

Most of the anti Graffitti coating I see is virtually useless. It does make it easier to clean off but then the coating itself wears of through the cleaning process.

Yep.
There's cheaper stuff that does that. The advantage is that it's cheap, and basically applies like paint.
There's more expensive stuff that is more permanent, and allows for easier cleaning.
Then there's spectacularly expensive stuff that's like applying teflon/ceramic to surfaces. Paints and other stuff won't stick. But it can take weeks to prepare the surface, apply the chemicals, and then make sure it all cures properly.

I wish they used the more expensive stuff then.

I'm really curious about your mindset with this post. Did you think the paint was made of some chemical that would absorb the paint or neutralize the color or did you think the paint particles wouldn't stick to it and just slide to the floor?

The anti-graffiti labeling appears to be done with a stencil and spray paint.

Just some silly irony, that's all.

The effectiveness expired in 2/2020 and was good for 1,000 tags so I think it held up nicely overall.

Nobody else chimed in, so I think we’re it. I’m OK with that.

Lol. You didn't seriously post this thinking it was a gotcha, did you?
It's not going to stop people from spray painting the wall, it makes it easy to clean off after they do, ya goof.

Its not paint proof. Its paint that is resistant to harsher methods making it quicker\cheaper\easier to clean.
Instead of having to repaint that wall, they probably just need a dude with 5 minutes and a pressure washer or sandblaster.

Looks better with graffiti. Nice fresh canvas to start the year off.

Most anti-graffiti coatings don't make things "paint proof". They prevent the paint from bonding with the wall surface, so they remain easy to clean off.
The few that are hydrophobic and oleophobic can be expensive to buy and complicated to apply.
