What to do when the wall paper still bleeds through after primer and white paint?

The bad news is you will have to remove the old wallpaper. Adding another coat of primer and topcoat will most likely result in the same problem.
Unfortunately, in the attempt to save time, money, and effort by doing the least amount possible, many people end up having to take additional time, do much more work and at greater cost than doing it all the first time.
Start by scoring the paper with a tool commonly called a "paper tiger". Use medium pressure and a circular stroke. Make sure to get all of the surface.
Next use a good quality commercial wallpaper remover, mixed with warm (not hot) water. Apply the mixture to the wall with a sponge (wear gloves and protective eye gear). Allow the mixture to saturate the paper and reactivate the glue. Using a wide scraper (plastic is better than metal) peel the wallpaper from the wall.
Once the entire wall is free of the paper and the "fuzzy" backing that some papers have. Wash the wall down with a good cleaner, rinse it well and allow to dry completely.
Do any and all repairs needed to the wall surface, and prime it with a good quality primer.
Finish up with a good quality top coat and you are good to go.

Had wallpaper on the bathroom walls I removed the wall paper now I'm wanting to paint the wall what kind of primer should I use?
You should carefully inspect the wall board for any damage. If the paper "skin" of the wall board has peeled off with the wall paper, you will have to patch that before you can paint. Otherwise, I would recommend a good quality latex primer.
Can you paint a wash coat primed surface?
It would be better to apply a true primer, but short of that, if you sand the surface with a fine grit paper, it should have no problem accepting the paint.

How do you paint varnished cabinets?
Scuff them up with steel wool or sand paper first. Oil paint can be put on directly. Enamel latex should adhere alright. For regular latex I would use an oil based primer first.

How do you paint marlite in bath room?
The whole idea of melamine is that not much will stick to it, not even paint. The paint might go on initially, but it won't stick. You could try roughing the surface with sandpaper and coating the roughened surface with a good automotive primer. Use a 300 grit wet/dry paper, and keep it wet while you're sanding, then after you've knocked the shine off, wipe it all down to remove the dust, let it dry thoroughly then put the primer over the surface. After the primer has dried thoroughly you can put whatever paint on it that you want. A better solution would be the cultured marble tub surrounds. They hold up much better in a damp location and they are really good looking.
