Answer 1

Depending on the thickness it should scrub/peel off in lots of places.

The rest you'll need to scrap off, and then try some paint thinner or mineral spirits.  (then rinse well with the hose)

IF...(and it might happen, depends on how hard you want to work at it)...it all doesn't come off, the best thing to do is give your porch a new paint job.

Answer 2

After their art work has dried completely, use sandpaper to remove it and then re-finish your front porch.  ; - )

Answer 3

Mr Snowflower is an artist all right. A bull  ****  artist. Acryllic paint is the kind you paint plastic with because it sticks so good.

Answer 4

try painting over it with a paint you like.

Answer 5

I had permanant marker on my leather recliner once when my 3 year old decided to color it. I got on the company's web site (Sharpie) and e-mailed them. They e-mailed me back & said to use alchohol. Maybe you could contact the company & ask them, since it's their product & they know the chemical make-up of it they could most effectively tell you more what to do about that.

Answer 6

Acrylic paint should wash right off with some good scrubbing, peeling, soap and water.

Acrylic paint is another word for poster paint. So, it shouldn't stain.

Keep scrubbing, and maybe get a paintbrush rinser. (a little container at the store that is soap to get 'hard to get paint' off of paint brushes.)

I hope that helped.

:)

Good luck.
