Default Bathroom paint repair

dadiOH,

Any repercissions of leaving it this way? Or will it ruin the
drywall/paint if left as is... is this issue severe enough to warrant
us stoping the use of the shower in this bath until it can be sealed?



Short term (a year or so) it isn't likely to cause any major problems. Long
term it may cause peeling and flaking of the paint in nearby areas as the
moisture gets behind the vapor barrier of the old paint. I would try to
avoid that if possible.

I think the binz shellac based sealer/primer paint serves as a vapor barrier
and might be easier for you to use than the oil based recommended by someone
else. The Binz can be top coated with your choice of acrylic or oil paint
with no additional primer needed and can be top coated about an hour after
the primer coat has been applied. Makes it a one day project.
