How can I remove pencil marks off of a freshly painted wall?

Question

I just striped a wall and I used a pencil to mark where to put the tape. I accidentally put tape over some of the marks so I didn't paint over the mark. I tried using just a rag and water and it didn't work. Any suggestions so I won't ruin the paint job. Thanks!!

Answer 1

I can't think of what they're called, but there are grey gummy erasers that work extreamly well.  

Answer 2

Staedtler Mars Plastic eraser (526 50)

Everybody should have one of these. They will do the job perfectly.

PS, I would let the paint harden for 48 hours first. If you try before it's really set, you'll probably damage the paint, no matter how careful you are.  

Answer 3

Either try a regular pencil eraser or try the Mr Clean Magic Eraser.

Answer 4

Um, just use an eraser once the paint dried and if the paint came off, then you have cheap paint.

Answer 5

Wet a sponge and dab it over a can of kitchen clenser.

Gently wipe, and the pencil will vanish.
