Visit a good paint store. Most have products that remove paint on the outside of home which will work for fences. For large outdoor projects then Sodium Hydroxide (lye) is most effective. It is applied and then rinsed off with a garden hose. I would not use the peelaway brand. Also, many deck strippers may work since they are diluted sodium hydroxide products.





Nearly all paint removers are dangerous to use (Keep some vinegar handy for the sodium hydroxide products. Vinegar will neutralize sodium hydroxide). And the ones that are not dangerous are usually not very effective.


';It is very important to avoid skin and eye contact when using caustic alkalis.


Use gloves that fit properly and are appropriate for caustic alkalis.


Wear appropriate protective clothing and goggles when using caustic alkalis.'; http://www.oldhouseweb.com/stories/Detai鈥?/a>





';EXTERIOR WOOD TREATMENTS


For exterior uses, a paint and varnish stripper containing proprietary sodium hydroxide can be painted, sprayed or rolled onto an old painted surface, and then sprayed off, along with the old finish, with a garden hose. Be cautious about protecting skin and eyes while using the product, however, because sodium hydroxide is a corrosive agent, used often in drain cleaners.


Untreated exterior wood, such as that used for decks and siding, can be restored to its original color through the same process, using the same chemical. The solution removes the weathered, gray wood cells, uncovering fresh surfaces.'; http://www.acehardware.com/sm-learn-abou鈥?/a>

A quality paint store may also be able to offer good advice when you describe your project. One product that penetrates many layers of paint is Peel Away. Its primary ingredient is sodium hydroxide, which is a powerful lye. One advantage of this paint remover is in working with old lead-based paint. It pulls the paint off and seals it in the process so the paint can be properly disposed of. It also eliminates sanding, which is a serious health hazard with lead-based paint. As with all chemical paint strippers, test the results first on a small area.

paint over it with whatever color the fence is. you didn't specify what type of fence it is so i cant really go into detail.
Try a paint remover and/or a pressure washer.
If someone tagged my wood fence, I would:





1). Sand it off with a belt sander.





2). Find the scum that did it.
