Hey guys! Would you say it's ok to tile over painted drywall? Some people have been saying yes if it's not gloss paint. Well, the wall is emulsion so is that ok. Or will be better to apply Ardex P4 Primer to the wall instead?

No, it was the fluffy type roller which caused that effect.Looks like there’s a hell of a lot of paint on
Best to sand or scrape off the paint. For the little time it takes it's not worth taking the risk of tiling on paint even if it' really well adhered. Do it once, do it right!
Would a grinder with a sanding disc be best Or a regular sander?
Especially if they didn't put a mist coat on first .A palm sander or good old sheet of sand paper should suffice. Scraper sometimes will get under it nicely and work well.
Thanks a bunch! One more thing, should I try to sand back to plaster or just remove a thin layer of paint?A palm sander or good old sheet of sand paper should suffice. Scraper sometimes will get under it nicely and work well.
