1) Leak from roof leaking 2) Is pic of water leak through wall, hot water heater leak cause the other water stain
hater water heater leak, my garage is on the other side of this wall you see with bad water stain.
I had the same problem. I covered the stains with Kilz, then a good quality paint. No stains show through.
You need to seal the spots. I used polyurethane, spray to seal a water leak, when dry prime and paint.
Kilz is great and covers well.
Don't use polyurethane. Won't work. Kilz primer will. Lowes, Home Depot, or Menard's
Ditto Kilz!
Seal it first with an oil or shellac based primer, then paint as usual! :-)
As long as it's an oil based primer it should cover it up no problem! We just had the same issue, but from an ice dam that formed on the roof. Then paint it with your choice of paint ☺
Use Kilz. It will block those stains.
