The textured paint I have with sharpie on it has a very light texture. The
problem seems to be that the paint is "soft", or some kind of scratch
resistant paint, and the sharpie was pulled down into tiny pores in the
paint. I've been wondering if I'd be better off just repainting the
covers, as they aren't very large. I just don't know where I'd get that
kind of paint, or how it needs to be cured.

Has
anyone tried removing Sharpie from a chassis with textured
paint? I have a couple of items that were marked up with a Sharpie,
and short of paint thinner (which seems to dilute and bury the ink
in the paint while damaging the texture), I've found nothing that
seems to work.
I've used alcohol on that stuff and it seems to remove some but not
all of it. I've never found anything that would remove it completely.
