Bad Paint

Tags: Painting
We started painting a closet and noticed a bad smell coming from the paint. Now we can't seem to get rid of the smell, we have cleaned the wall with a bleach solution, used a primer that was supposed to kill mold and mildew and painted over the primer and still it smells. Please help!

You need to prime with a pigmented shellac primer such as Zinsser BIN.
