So Me And My Roommate Got A Bright Idea To Make A Collage Of Drawings On Our Wall. We Want It Off! Help!?
We used crayola markers and then we saw that it looked terrible…we tryed getting it off with magic erasers…didnt work. Soap and water didnt work. Nothing worked. So we painted it purple thinking it will be better. Now we need to move out and paint it back to white..and what do ya know there is the UGLY marker drawings. They seeped through all that paint. Nothing works. HELP!
Polycell do a good product that even mentions crayonshttp://www.polycell.co.uk/products/polyc…
Also if you go to a large DIY store they should have people who can advise you.
You’ll probably have to paint over what ever you put down first try to choose a paint that is just off-white (like eggshell or cream) it will help.
Been there, done that. I let my grandson have his friends do graffiti on his bedroom walls with magic markers. When he moved out I tried to remove it. I finally found rubbing alcohol and a lot of elbow grease worked. Once it has been painted over though I don’t think you can do that. Some of mine didn’t come off even with the rubbing alcohol. I painted it 2 times with primer before I got it stopped. My walls now are a beautiful pale yellow with no signs of graffiti.
I would first suggest getting some primer. It’ll help with painting a lighter color over a dark/bright colors. Then once that completely dries paint it with white. Let that completely dry. Then put another coat of paint up. This should work. Good luck.
