Alrite....
The primer sounds good. You should stay away from flat paint in a bathroom all together. I would recomend a semigloss finish.

Flat paint has larger pigment particles, and allows moisture to get underneath. In a high-moisture area (kitchen, bath) its good to have a finish with finer pigment particles to keep the moisture out. Also make sure you let it cure properly before subjecting it to any type of moisture.

Another tip:
Take a piece of 220 grit sand paper, and just lightly sand the wall, as if you were washing it with the sand paper. Then try a primer made by Glidden called "Gripper."

Allow it to dry for 4 hours, and put a semi gloss paint on top...let that sit, with NO moisture for at least 24 hours.

You should not have any problems after that!

Hope this helps you out some....
