anyone who have repainted rooms damaged by kid drawings know how to deal with repainting over dyed marker?
these tenant's kids used some sort of strong marker that when I paint over it, it dyes the white paint orange. I've tried two coats of paint and it dyed right through both times, and I tried adding a third layer of plaster, plaster got dyed orange too.
Should I give up and just try to clean the marker dye (if so, any recommended cleaning products?) or should I use a special paint that is impervious to marker dyes.
I'm thinking maybe covering it up with drywall tape and plaster over it, but that's like a last resort as it is a lot of work.
Any suggestions?

Try alcohol to take the ink off. If that doesn't work try acetone. If that doesn't work try mineral spirits or xylene.
A couple of good coats of primer before the actual paint usually covers it up pretty well though.

Okay, I'll try the primer first.
Thanks.

for any non-new wall it is 2 coats of oil based primer (kilz) or one to two coats of shellac based

kilz, got it, I'll be sure to look for that brand.

kilz original btw. The oil based stuff. None of this pansy kilz2 or kilz low voc or kilz etc etc. That is all just a con.

This, but if you can't find name brand there are others. It's essentially sealer-primer. In disaster resto I saw tons of T.I.P.S. (total interior sealer-primer) and killz. Killz covers almost anything, even things that are unprintable such as silicone caulk.

Kilz,obviously.

If you're on a budget just use low-grit sandpaper and go over it with regular paint.

pretty sure acetone or anything stronger will ruin the paint, alcohol is the way to go.

Just paint the room orange
