I don’t think there is a way to delete the graffiti that you make with the spray can, is it? I guess it would pretty decent if mopping the graffiti would make it go away or splashing water over it.

I know it might present balancing issues with encumbrance, but trenchcoats seem like a full-body kind of clothing, not just torso/arms. You don’t tuck them into your belt after all.
