Help!!Bathroom paint problem..
I used white bathroom paint over strips of wood that hold up the panels in my bathroom ceiling. A few weeks after, I started to notice little brown drips coming through the paint. I can wipe them off, but they always return and now the drips have spread out and into larger areas of brown mess. Is this from oils in the wood? I know I have to repaint, but I want to make sure I can keep it from happening again. Anyone have experience with this problem can help me out?

Failure to properly sand and prime can cause adhesion problems. You will need to sand, apply a couple coats of primer/sealer like Zinnser, and then paint again.

thanks for your help
So I should go ahead and sand over the painted wood? Should I sand down completely removing the new paint? (I applied about 3 coats already)

Did you use primer?
And what kind either/or?
What kind of wood?
Brown is weird
I'd suspect a water roof/pipe leak, not paint

Don't know the kind of wood. I used white paint, but no primer..I do know for sure it is not mold or a leak. The wood parts supporting the panels were fine before I painted them, and now they have developed brown little drips coming through the white paint, maybe brought out by the steam from the shower?
