Are you going to tile the walls and if so what size and type are you proposing? Tiling onto paint isn't good it should be at least cross hatched scored off to ensure a good adhesive bond then primed with acrylic bonding ready to accept the tile adhesive.
I hope this helps

2kg of grout per m2..... Is that real? In what size joints? Seems unreal to me.
