Hi
I need to scrape & paint my bathroom ceiling. My house is older & has plaster board walls. I have never painted the bathroom before(walls are completely tile). Signs of mildew & cracking due to moisture. I put in an exhaust fan/lite in shower & it helps cut down on moisture, but since my girlfriend moved in the shower gets used much more. I have thought about a louver type door also since she refuses to leave the bathroom door open when showering.
I have used Sherwin Williams "super paint" latex throughout the rest of house with good results. Is there an advantage to laquer based primer in the bathroom over latex?(I have always used latex kilz or zinister in past)
If I use laquer primer can I use latex paint over it?
Is it better to apply multiple coats of primer?
How long should I wait before using shower after Im done painting?
Is it ok to use Sheetrock joint compound in high moisture areas before I apply primer?
I plan on using a bathroom paint, but wasn't sure about what primer is best.
Thanks for any suggestions.
