[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We had this happen in our primary bathroom. I went to the Benjamin Moore paint store and they told me about a special primer for bathrooms. It's been a few years, and it has not peeling. I also run a dehumidifier in there after showers. [/quote]

NP but we have a similar issue. A few questions:

Did you paint the vents with the primer as well? We have the same problem as OP, plus the rust issue, and we also will get mildew on the ceiling as well (though this we are able to clean off but it's a huge problem since it's the ceiling).

What dehumidifier do you use? Do you run it after every shower and is it annoying? We have tried just showering with the door open plus run the fan and it clearly does not solve the issue.

We have this issue but when we've brought in contractors to address it, they just want to repaint and I want to actually solve the problem. Apparently it's common in newer builds and I'm assuming it's because the bathrooms are like hermetically sealed and lack some of the natural ventilation older houses get from settling and being more drafty/less well insulated. But every time I start to see the paint peel and mildew I get so frustrated. Never had to deal with this before.[/quote]

I don’t think we have any vents near the shower. Our bathroom is pretty big, maybe 15x20 and the fan was doing nothing. I can’t remember the primer, but the paint guy said prime with this and the paint will never peel. It’s specially for wet bathrooms. 
I have a big stand alone dehumidifier. Yes it’s annoying. It’s amazing how much water that thing pulls out of the air. I really run it so that we don’t get mildew because the vey fan does absolutely nothing. [/quote]
