Hi, I used Kilz in my bathroom and it has worked great. Look at the different labels of their paint I think one is marked for extra moisture areas. I'm saying think because it has been some time since I painted mine as they have held up so well.
I would prime with Mold Killing Zinzer or Kilz. It’s going to be pricey, so look for it on-sale.
I would buy a mold inhibiting additive to gloss latex enamel paint.
If you can get alkyd enamel paint in your state and have the patience to work with oil based paints, then that is the best product.
Matt finish or flat finish paints will fail.
Prime with Kilz primer and bathroom paint. Has midewcides in it.
Also invest in a high CFM exhaust fan. Look for at least 80 CFM and low Sones.
This will be healthier for the entire house
