I have never heard of a primer that didn't let the paint stay. maybe the paint was cheap. If you are doing a bathroom you should be using a kitchen and bath paint that resist mold and mildew. it dryes like rubber. and is very washable. I painted my whole house in it. i do a lot of painting. oh an dont buy a cheap brush or roller. I hate people that buy me cheap brushes and rollers.

You could completely sand off all of the primer, but I'm thinking you probably have an oil based primer and you're trying to put a water based paint on top of it. The water based paint won't stick to the oil based primer. I don't think the problem has anything to do with the primer being cheap. Check to make sure your primer and the paint are both oil based, or both water based.

Chicklet above is right. An oil based primer will not accept a latex paint (water based) and a latex primer will not accept an oil based paint. It's the old adage we've all heard, "water and oil don't mix", they reject each other. So, sanding down to the original surface is your best bet, I know, "shoot". Unless you know the original paint compound (oil based or water based) you may well have to start over. Sand the walls, apply a primer such as Kilz or Benz (water based, quick drying) and paint with a latex paint. Oil based paints are a real pain and they take forever to dry, no one really uses them any more, with some exceptions. Sorry, there's no easy way out.

I believe you can put a good quality latex primer over the top of the oil based primer. Either that or use an oil based paint over the oil based primer. Personally I'd do anything to avoid sanding it all off.

Walmart sells a Kilz paint that's suppose to be very good. You can also buy a gallon of regular kilz, it's a great primer. Also make sure to use semi gloss, latex enamel.

I wouldn't. You can sand it or wipe a liquid called no sand.
If you haven't already, buy a very good paint also. Also, make sure it has had time to cure before painting.

If the owner won't repaint the partitions, it extremely is beneficial to repaint the decrease factor which you come back in touch with, utilising a semigloss paint of a distinctive color or color. additionally, by utilising an ornamental border, you are able to create an entire new look.
