I remove paint with a multimaster and that orange triangle grit attachment, mask and a hoover..and a spray bottle ..

The problem is the bond is only ever going to be as strong as the paint onto the walls.
Very risky imo.

Some people even think that paint acts as a primer! lmfao

No good for painted walls I’m afraid. Such a product doesn’t exist as it would need to defy science for it to work.

Ehhh mod approval come on 3_fall

 

[Old Mod]

The only thing I can approve of is:
Removing paint,
Overboarding with mechanical fixings.
Let the other tiler take the risk.

Yep that's what I've suggested either new plasterboard or marmox over the top

the problem with tiling over paint is, how well that the paint is sticking to the wall, a lot of painters don,t prime the walls with watered down paint so the paint then "flash dries" and as the skim sucks the water out of the paint too quickly, and the paint is only sitting on the wall, when i started tiling 30 years ago there was no problem tiling over paint, but then paint was diferent then and tiles were 6"x6" or 10"x6" less than half the weight, so to answer you question get paint off.
