Ardex p4 is a good primer for paint but obv the paint can't be loose. Has to be solid , otherwise score and scrape

 

[rubi man]

why not use a SBR primer or something like WBA ????
or plasterboard walls mist coated then i still use a primer
plastered walls i score them up with a knife brush off the flakes and use BAL SBR primer.

Try as Bob recommended, tape on the wall.....

I usually do a tape test with duck/gaffer tape.

I have know of people tiling their bathrooms/kitchens over painted walls about 10-15 years ago and not one tile has came off.

How would one remove paint of a wall before tiling.

And I've seen tiles come off before the adhesive's set, taking the paint with it.
