I have permenent marker on unfinished drywall?

Question

I put on one coat of primer and one coat of white paint, it is still bleeding through, should I put on another coat of paint, or do I need to put on more primer??

Answer 1

Lacquer also works to cover stains.  Then paint over it.

Answer 2

more primer and they also have this paint that has primer in it ...we used it to paint my bedroom when i decided to go from the dark blue to the light white and it worked wonders

Answer 3

You might need to cover it with an oil-based primer first, then re-paint.  I think there might be alcohol in permanant markers so you need an oil-based primer to cover it.  You can buy it in a spray can if it is a small area to cover.  I like the Zinsser Bulls Eye 123 primer.

Answer 4

i would have used a bleach spray to fade it first (before painting)............but try another coat of paint on the affected area.

Answer 5

my father is a painter and swears by killz brand primer to cover up difficult stains that bleed through paint.  Try touching up the area where the marker is--you might need two coats of killz and then paint

Answer 6

Stain bloc or other patch primer which will stop the spirits in the marker bleeding though. (Matt varnish sometimes works too). Make sure whateveru you use is cured before overcoating - as this can encourage migration of the inks.

Answer 7

use BIC WHITE LOL

Answer 8

Put KILZ on it -- that stuff seals everything!

Answer 9

I would try using a primer called Kilz. That should work to cover the spot. Once it dries, you can then go over it with your topcoat.

Answer 10

i say paint the room black, it wont show, and its an awesome color

Answer 11

the easiest solution is to cut that part out.

just remove the lair of paper from the drywall.

then fill the hole, sand it and prime it. Good as new.

The problem with Kilz is that it goes on quite thick and you'd have to do the entire wall.

Answer 12

You need to put one coat of Kilz first. That should do it!

Answer 13

i might be incorrect, but if it continues to bleed through, i'd just take that chunk out of the dry wall, and repatch it. then i'd sand, smoothe, prime and paint.

but i could be way off.

Answer 14

I would try more paint if that doest help maybe try sanding it off then repainting again

Answer 15

KILZ brand primer covers just about anything.  I think there may be one specifically for stains, but the regular should work, don't spread it too thin.  If that still doesn't work, maybe sand down the paint and put drywall mud over the marker, sand it smooth, paint as normal.

Answer 16

yes you need to put on more primer i would use kilz . get the latex base if your using latex  i believe the  that would be kilz 2

and kilz 1 would be oil base. allow for it to dry 12 hrs or more so you will get the results that you seek

if that fails you could spread a thin layer of sheet rock joint compound ( mud ) over the top of your stain let dry & sand smooth as so there will not be a notice able hump or bubble on the wall ( this will be much faster and cost efficient than going out to buy sheet rock and cutting out the mark and redoing it

Answer 17

You may need to put a couple more coats of primer on the wall. The paint won't mask the marker, but the primer will.

Answer 18

Use a primer sealer called "Kilz" available at most hardware stores. I have never seen it fail on surface marks.

Answer 19

A good primer should have worked but may need more thna one coat. I had same thing. Someone was trying to remodel and marked the walls in perm marker (duh???) so i had to primer with 2 coats of killz

Answer 20

just paint should work

Answer 21

more primer
