I got this incredible shot the evening of 9/8/2009 on the UP in SLC.

(Not perfect, but pretty amazing for freehand.)They would have a better chance of their "work" lasting if they left the tech info of the car visible, or even worked it into their work. Now, the car will sooner or later be shopped when possible and the cars info patched over the paint.
Too bad they covered up the reporting marks and car specs, though. I've seen a lot of grafitti'd cars in which the "artist" went out of his way to leave the reporting marks intact. Obviously what they did was still wrong, but you kind of have to appreciate that they had the sense to realize that those letters and numbers are important and shouldn't be covered up.
