I have peach color pain in my dinning room and I have a 2year old who decided to draw me a pitchure on the wall with permenant black marker is there any way I could get the marker off the wall without repainting?

Sorry, but to my knowledge there's no help but to spot prime the area with ummm help me out guys... there's a graffitti primer that's supposed to work on ink. anyway, spot prime it and touch up the area with paint (you did save some of that paint didn't you?).

good luck,

Sonnie

A couple of coats of KILZ Original or any good oil based primer will hold the marker back. Then as Sonnie says you will have to touch up. I don't think that anything will remove the ink without attacking the paint. If you don't have any touch up paint post this question in DIY Cleaning. There may be something for this and if you do come across something do let us know here....Mike
