So the paint in my bathroom is peeling off in big 3 inch curls. I had intended to scrape the paint, sand it, prime it, paint it; easy.
And then I looked close up.
Everywhere the paint had peeled there is nothing but a soft, chalky, pinkish substance. Is this drywall? It's obviously not plaster, and every image of drywall I found online was a more fiberous brown color. I am at a total loss. How do I proceed?
The house is a SoCal track home built somewhere between 1988-1992, if that helps. I am handy, but not experienced in home repairs- just painting and installing the occasional shelf and I would greatly appreciate any information! Thanks!
