Best Answer: Its OK to skim coat or texture over a painted wall, and yes prep work is everything for how well the job will look and how well it will last. SO do not skimp on the prep. Watch out for wall paper, the water in the mud will cause it to wrinkle and leave air pockets and bubbles the paper.
It's also good to skim coat if you paint the walls with a gloss or semigloss paint, because reflective paint tends to exaggerate defects. Because a skim coat is a type of texture, you normally don't need one if you're applying a different type of texture, such as a knockdown or eggshell.
