Problems with painting over peeling paint?

Question

Im painting my bathroom and having some problems. The current paint is peeling and rough. What kind of preparation do i need to take so that when i use my primer and paint the old peeling paint wont show through?

thanks in advance

Answer 1

You should use a paint scraper and sand paper and then prime it.

Answer 2

you  have to scrape  off  the  old  paint  and  sand  it  off before you can  paint..........or  else  it  will  peel  off  too.

Answer 3

Scrape the old paint off, sand the walls, and then start your project. Wear a mask though while you're scraping!

Answer 4

Unfortunately you will have to use a 4 stage procedure:

Scrape the loose paint from the wall, sand it to a smoothe finish then prime it and paint it.

You may want to be sure that you have no water damage that could be causing the paint to peel.
