Can you paint over sharpie?

Answer 4

it will probably cover it up. get a small amount of paint and try it out. good luck.

Answer 5

I'm pretty sure you can paint over it. Try painting a few layers if the first one doesn't cover it completely (:

Answer 6

You need to paint it with a primer first (Kilz) then paint it over with regular interior paint.  Might need 2 or three coats of Kilz with the sharpie.

Answer 7

only with white-out

Answer 9

yup but sharpy cant come out of your shurt

Answer 10

no - paint is used to hide things.

however, you are correct - you must use a good quality white primer and white coat over that. one coat of each should be fine.  

Answer 11

I know Sharpie is "Permanent", but try scrubbing the area where you wrote / drew to at least wear it down. That may make it easier to paint over. It is pretty likely that it will bleed through though.  

Answer 12

depends on the color of the sharpie, if it's it black, definatly not.

but if it's some lighter color like yellow, then maybe

Answer 13

painting it would work. but you should do more than one coat

Answer 14

use Kilz

Answer 15

Sharpie ink will bleed through normal paints.  I recommend that you use a good primer first.  Maybe even apply two coats of primer before painting. After that, paint to your hearts content.

The toughest, most effective primer is KILZ oil based.

Answer 17

Sharpie, I believe is petroleum based meaning be careful what you cover it up with. Latex might not work.

Answer 18

buy new windows  

Answer 19

Glidden has a great primer called "Gripper". It will cover anything.

Two coats and you've got it made.
