Painting over Permanant Marker
I'm repainting my daughters bedroom that has stencils outlined in permanent black marker.............does Home Depot sell a product that I can paint over this and then re-apply my new paint color ??

You have found the one thing that pro painters are willing to kill anybody from one of the other trades over. Permanent marker is miserable to cover successfully.
I am an electrician, although not one that has done this mortal sin of construction but if I remember correctly Kilz is the paint of choice to stop the bleed through although I am not sure of what type of Kilz they use exactly. Hopefully one of the painters that post here will catch on to this and lend some advice.

Hand sanitizers, rubbing alcohol and nail polish remover works. I don't know about doing these things now as you've primed 3 times now though.
I just tested (right now) permanent marker on my wall to test (which is white semi-gloss), let it dry and used nail polish remover and it came off easily.

There's only one thing I trust to block magic marker:
It's a shellac-based product, so plenty of fresh air and a respirator are suggested

If you use a brush, get a throw-away
BIN is tough stuff to clean up
(Ammonia or mineral spirits)
The spray can is good for spots

Great info slick............can I purchase this at Home Depot ? And do you think I could get away with applying the Zinsser and paint on the same day ?

I don't know
If HD doesn't have it, the local paint shop or hardware store will
Zinsser's BIN is what you are looking for if you have to make phone calls
It's pretty common though
It should not be hard to find
...ah, the website has a where to buy
Maybe this will help

The same hour actually
Zinsser says 45 minutes
I do much less all the time

I agree with slickshift. Oil base primer is sometimes effective but pigmented shellac always works [imo any brand will do] Latex will never seal/cover marker ink.
