I started prepping our guest bathroom for paint today.
I started by peeling off some loose caulking at the base of the tub, because someone at some point in time did not take the packaging tape of the shower/bathtub combo. So after who knows how long, the tape looses it's stickiness and causes the caulk to weaken.
My problem is, is that when I started peeling off the heat old caulk, the top 2 coats of paint peeled off really easy. Like it wasn't even grabbing the wall. It only does this for so far, and then it's strong to the wall.
So far, I can tell the first coat of paint is red, then white, and the top layer being bright fucking lime green. The white paint is the layer that is peeling off with the green stuck on top of it. I do not believe the white layer is a primer, as that is the color behind the toilet (which I have removed for replacement pending a plumber coming to take a look at my flange).
So I'm not sure what is causing the problem.
How can I fix this without sanding the wall of all paint?
Before all this occurred, my plan was to Kilz the shit out of the lime green. Should this be the route I go and blend in the missing layers of paint and retexuring the wall to blend?
