Hi Chrno,

Thinking it was a wet spot got us off track. That's the old paint showing where the top coat pulled off.

If new paint won't stick to it, try cleaning it with a q-tip and windex, alcohol, or anything that will clean it enough for paint to stick. A small piece of fine sandpaper might do the trick. Repaint it with a small brush (water color or artist's brush). Matching the wall color will be the hard part and several coats will probably be required to cover the contrasting paint.

Have a nice day,
Mack1
