How to get rid of a stinking wall color - paint over, remove/sanding or use ozone?
I'm willing to bet they used a basic latex primer, which will do little or nothing about the odor. Take the time to buy the primer yourself and make sure it specifically lists &quot;odor&quot; as something it will work against. Most oil-based primers will handle odor (although they themselves contain a strong odor initially). There are also some newer products that are water cleanup that claim oil-based features, including blocking odors (Kilz says this product will do it but I've never used it myself).
