I would be willing to bet that if you offered him personally a small water color as a gift, (maybe one that is already in your inventory) he'd be willing to let you take your name off the mural. When dealing with people, Dale Carnegie wrote that it is better to think about what they want, rather than what we want, and then they are more apt to list with an open mind. He adds to this a gem by Henry Ford, "If there is any one secret of success, it lies in the ability to get the other person's point of view and see things from that person's angle as well as your own."
Good luck, I'm sure he'll be open minded to an honest need.
