I'm not doubting your word on this----just doesn't seem right to me.
Most builders paint cannot be washed! It's a well-known fact that we've experienced in several new homes. Maybe it's not "primer" paint per se, but it acts like it. It's thin and poor quality.

We can't wash anything off of our walls either. It either doesn't come off, or the whole paint job comes off with the spot. I just went around with touch-up paint last week, for the umpteenth time.

We'll have the interior painted with decent paint, if we can ever decide on colors. And new living room furniture.
