Painting problem

dori2o

I'm painting the kids room this week but I have a problem.

Previously I jyst painted the walls white and just let the kids draw on the walls,but now they have grown out of that I want to get the room looking decent again.

But,one of them has drawn on the wall in permanent black marker.

They are having a nice soft yellow on the walls, but obviously I'm going to have trouble covering the black marker.

I cannot afford to re paper and have none left from when I last did it.

Any ideas?

Just buy a good quality paint , myself i would buy dulux trade , for every 4 coats of cheap focus watered down watery water paint 1 coat of a decent paint will do the same job.

sand it off first. thatll help.
painting it a grey color before the yellow (or any light color) will be a big help.

or just paint the whole wall black!

"Any ideas?"

Paint over the black marker areas with a coat of oil based undercoat or any colour of oil based gloss as a barrier, when dry apply your emulsion.

do you have any old testerpots often just painting the mark over in a different colour then repainting with the yellow is enough to stop it bleeding thru
