Black mold will almost certainly return if you simply paint over it without thoroughly cleaning, killing, and treating the underlying root cause of the moisture. Paint does not destroy mold spores; instead, trapping live mold underneath a fresh coat of paint provides an enclosed environment where the fungus continues to thrive, eventually causing the paint film to bubble, peel, and compromise your indoor air quality and structural integrity.
