Permanent Marker on Flat Based Paint

RE: Permanent Marker on Flat Based Paint Post by kimmcg (168) | (05/06/2007) Contact I have been through this and if the paint is really white, you can use white out to go over the marker. It might take a few times, but it will cover it. I wouldnt use the greased lightning I know it takes off paint. RE: Permanent Marker on Flat Based Paint Post By toni (Guest Post) (05/04/2007) try a solution of greased lightning half with water as that is what I swear by as I know it gets it out of carpet. Just on the wall you need to rinse it thouroughly after to be sure it does not take off the paint.

RE: Permanent Marker on Flat Based Paint Post By Linda (Guest Post) (05/02/2007) Cover marker ART with KILZ and then paint over that. If you just try to paint the marker will come right thru. RE: Permanent Marker on Flat Based Paint Post By Rasta (Guest Post) (05/02/2007) Use shellac based Kilz, let dry, repaint over it with the flat white. There are numerous whites and you are home free if it is a pure white but if not you may have to paint the whole section of wall from corner to corner.

Have you seen that new product Easy Off Bam? the commercial shows it removing permanent marker. Perhaps the manufacturer of the marker might have a website that has some suggestions. RE: Permanent Marker on Flat Based Paint Post by Andjerm (24) | (05/02/2007) Profile | Contact I have had this problem too. If you rub the marker off some of the paint ALWAYS comes off. I have found that the sheet rock underneath is white too so it really is not that big a deal. It will look better than marker PLUS if you paint you will have to paint the WHOLE room unless you have the exact match and the paint is not old.........good luck!

I used one on flat paint the other day for crayon and if you do it quickly and lightly, it will not remove much of the paint. My wall looked just fine after.
