Of course you have to make your own texture in an 2D app if you want to add an custom graffiti.
You can make graffits with different methods probably the easiest way is to make your texture in an 2D app (one that supports alpha layers, tga, bmp or dds fileformat) The texture has to be an power of two (128*128,256+256, etc). Import the texture to mylevel (I assume you know how to import stuff to your maps) make a brush sheet with the same dimenions as you texture then go to the face properties (right click somwhere) and set it to one sided and then convert to a static mesh. You can now use this mesh like any other mesh.
You also can make graffitis from projectors, check the lamp shadows from Odessa and just change the texture and angle.

As I said you need to make the backround an alpha layer so it gets invisible PM me maybe I can do this for you
Presuming you want a good effect I'd set my sights a little higher than the graffiti in kreigstadt though- it's not very realistic.
Consider what is being applied to what surface - for example brushed paint to brick.
Would you see a consistant, even layer of coverage or thicker areas where paint collects and gaps in the writing where it hasn't taken to all of the surface?

For Lazur I took the simple road.
Step 1 :
Export the existing RO texture you want the grafiti on.
Open texture browser seek texture right mouse button then export to file.
Step 2 :
Open the texture in your desired program Photoshop, Paintshop pro or whatever.
Step 3 :
Write the texture you like on the wall. Use the brushtool or paint tool.
Step 4 :
Save the texture as dds. Something like mysuperbgrafiti.dds and import it
into the mylevel package in texture browser. Go to file ---> import and then
seek your image and import it.
Step 5 :
In the map add your texture on the wall
There you go. The fact you used an excisting RO texture help you to nicely fit it
in your map. So you can add your grafiti on the spot you want and use the RO texture
next to it.
