Painting - New paint job peeling by the yard

I just finished painting a second coat of semi-gloss in the bathroom and noticed what looked like a splatter. When I tried to fix it, it turned out to be an air bubble that had formed under the first coat, but only after I had finished the second coat. When I tried to chip away the bubble, the whole two layers peeled away from the wall. I'm talking about the whole wall coming off in ONE piece. I used Behr Enamel Undercoater Primer Sealer for semi-gloss and A Glidden latex enamel semi-gloss. I let each coat dry 24 hours. Why didn't the top coat adhere to the primer? The primer is still on the walls. Also, I noticed that the other two walls are starting to bubble. Am I going to have to peel all that away and start over?

Have you consulted with the paint retailer? If you applied your latex paint according to the manufacturers directions, you have a warranty situation.


They may also be able to help you get it right the second time through.

Glidden is notorious for that.

was it Dulux ?

I was able to return the paint and the primer to Home Depot. I was actually surprised they took it all back. I'm not sure if the Glidden was a Dulux and now I can't check because I've already returned it. I've since heard nothing good about Glidden from friends and co-workers. I won't be using them again! As for the bathroom, I've started from scratch. I peeled off the rest of the offending paint, sanded, washed with TSP, and have just re-primed with a Duron undercoater. I'm going to finish off with a Duron top coat as well. Thanks for responding.
