Well I just finished putting about 4 coats of white gloss spray paint over some of my daughter's artwork on our walls in permanent marker. It worked awesome and was inexpensive. Now I can apply my paint! I definitely recomend this! Works great!

We used KILZ, after 6 coats it still shows through. Any other suggestions?

You will need to give it two coats of flat grey paint then two coats of primer before you do your final color. I covered a red wall and learned that a dark grey paint will cover anything

Primer won't work. Get a can of "KILZ" and spray the marks. Kilz will cover anything!

Otherwise try OOPS or Goo Gone to get rid of the marker. My husbands Grandmother rents an apartment above her garage and one of the tenents had used marker all over the walls. I think it was OOPS that we used that time to remove the marker so we could paint over it. The OOPS will remove the paint but as long as you are trying to repaint it will not matter.

Did your painter use Kilz or other special stain-blocking primer? If not, have him try it over the current coat of paint.
