The suitcase fell over into my newly painted white wall in the hall. I tried removing the mark with a sponge and water but it wont budge. I still have some of the original paint left. Would it just be a case on going over it with a roller. Will it blend in with the rest of the wall once dry or will it take a few weeks?

Thanks

Flash stain remover sponges are your friend. Amazing things, take marks off paint like no ones business.

They are called "Flash mark and stain erasers" and come in twos. Available in most main shops or online if not.

If it's newly painted and you want to put some more new paint on it, how can it not blend? JFDI smile

JML Magic Eraser.

They sell a similar product in France which is brilliant, but I've not tried these ones.
