acrylic paint

[TERESA R. MEADOR]

Hi, I hope someone can help me. I used foam rubber stamps and acrylic paint
to stencil roses on my kitchen walls as a border. Now I need to know how to
remove it or cover them up. The walls are off white and I use burgandy and
green acrylic paint. Any suggestions?
thanks!

I stenciled all over the walls in my old apartment. I used all purpose acrylic craft paint and it came off with some good scrubbing. Or, again depending on the exact kind of paint used, some regular latex paint should cover it up nicely.

I agree. My daughter had white walls with navy blue geometric lines going all
around the room, including the door. When she moved, we used Kilz and the blue has
never bled thru.

Most acrylic paints are water based. So some hot soappy water and a good
elbow scrubbing will do the job.

It will help to sand lightly over the paint to lighten the color. Then apply
the paint to the walls

Ok, the correct spelling on my earlier post is "KILZ" sorry about that.

Alcohol will remove acrylic paint, but removing it from a wall that way
would be very time consuming. I would suggest using a product called " kills
" if just painting over it wont work. Hope that helps
