Hi Mommas! My daughter has a white Disney princess bed and I always try and remove her writing and such.. some i just cant remove. Have you ever painted your child's bed over?? its a White Disney sleigh bed from Rooms to go
Lightly sand it and use primer first. This way the new paint will stick to it. I would use a brush and not the spray, you will have less drips that way. Also, paint each piece separately. If you paint it put together it may not turn out as nice.
If it has a shiny finish on it, you will need to use fine sandpaper on it first, otherwise the paint won't stick. They even make "sticky" primer for super smooth surfaces. They should be able to help you find it at Home Depot. Then do your paint, and I personally would give it a coat of polyurethane to seal the paint so it is less likely to chip and easier to wipe down. I would do it outside (take the bed apart first and it will be much easier) or in the garage with the door open if you have one, so the fumes don't get in her room. Good luck!
Before painting, make sure you give the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser a try, it has removed writing and marks for me that I never thought would come off.
Sanding is right--I would sand even if it's not gloss already, then prime to keep the paint from chipping.
Before you paint, though, have you tried the Magic Eraser? My son wrote on everything--walls, banisters, furniture--with everything from markers to pencils to crayons, and that tidy little eraser took every bit of it off.
If you've tried that already, though, and it didn't work, do try to match the paint carefully. All whites are not the same, and paints range from flat to gloss. The closer you get it, the less work you'll have to do.
