Peeling Paint In Bathroom
Ted W writes, I repainted our bathroom a few months ago & now the paint is kind of flaking off in areas, what would cause this?
More than likely Ted it is from hairspray on the walls, I have run into this problem myself & this what I did. Scrape any areas that have peeled or look like they are going to peel. Paint over then with an oil based primer like Kilz & when it is dry repair with drywall mud. After these areas have been sanded, prime all of the walls with the same oil based primer & then repaint with 100% acrylic enamel eggshell, satin, or semi-gloss, which will hold up well to moisture. You shouldn’t have any further problems after following these steps. I know from now on I will always prime a bathroom wall with the oil based primer in hopes of eliminating all the additional work that I & now you have experienced. Thank you for sharing your question.
