Jump to PostAt the start of the paint method, call super.paintComponent. This should have the effect of clearing the screen. If it doesn't, draw a new rectangle on the screen that is the color you want (white or gray probably) that fills the whole screen.

Yep, no problem. Somebody else on this forum told me that solution a while back as well. Also, mark this thread as solved
