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.
We did skim coating on one wall and showed it to one professional painter (hoping he would do a better job than our DIY), and he responded it would be better for me to accept textures, implying it would never be perfect unless I add drywall on top of plaster walls.
