How were these words applied to walls? Did vandals have to walk around with a paint bucket and brush? Was it carved out? Or perhaps walls were finished with some sort of wet plaster and people had a short window of time to write in it with their fingers?

as far as I remember, it was all paint. they would go around at night with buckets of red paint and write, sometimes over other words, it could be a mess. only because Pompei was so frozen in time did the paint not wear away
