Our painting contractor started spraying primer yesterday in a new house we are building.Within a few hours the drywall started turning a light shade of pink.Not every board and not on the sheetrock mud. The painter and a couple of other subs have heard of this happening a few months ago.USGyspen is meeting with the painter tomorrow.Has anyone else heard of this.
