Or draw all over it for a unique look.:laughing:No matter what you do there will be tell tale signs, I would recommend just grinding the entire concrete surface and make it uniform looking.
We got called in for paint and finishing. The owner is the GC and hired out the rest of the subs direct.....but yes, a slap in the head is a good idea all around!Chris Johnson said:I missed the colored concrete part, sorry.
If your grinding it, is it color thru or just added on the surface? This could pose a problem.
Personally I would have slapped both those trades in the head for not paying attention, but also did you not cover and protect the floor? It's a finished product.

It will take another sharpie. Whatever is in that marker that allows the ink to flow in the first place is what you need to dissolve whatever is on the concrete. It's a bit tricky but you'll have to scribble over it with the marker until the old ink starts to loosen up and then you should be able to wipe it up the next moment.Does anyone have a solution on how to remove sharpie marker off of coloured concrete?
That's what I would try first, also. Odd as it sounds, sharpie is the only thing that removes sharpie. You just need to go real slow and a little bit at a time. Practice on something else first. Mark it and let it dry good, then mark over it and wipe before it drys.It will take another sharpie.

Now please don't go scribbling over the entire floor until you try this and can make it work. :laughing:
I hope you're making them pay for it. Can you say chargeback?Does anyone have a solution on how to remove sharpie marker off of coloured concrete? Our drywallers and plumbers each wrote on a coloured concrete floor that the owner wants to use as the finished floor now. Any ideas?
I've done that before too. Go over it with a Sharpie, then quickly clean with alcohol.That's what I would try first, also. Odd as it sounds, sharpie is the only thing that removes sharpie.
