Any need to prime painted kitchen wall?
Search the forum,
interesting question about the use of paintstripping solution. not something I'd consider doing myself. you'd have to be absolutely sure you cleaned it down thoroughly and that the solution hadn't soaked into the plaster behind. Your choice I guess. Maybe best to try a test patch on an inconspicuous area?
yeah that's my concern too.
when I've come up against painted walls, I've sanded them back using a sander and medium grit paper. it's a messy and laborious job and you have to be careful not to puncture the plaster and the plasterboard.
maybe some of the other guys have got ideas. I'm sure additional input will be along shortly
TBH paint strippers have changed a lot over the years and the new ones are not the harsh chemicals once used that would burn your eyeballs at 10 paces.
The eco friendly ones once naturalised are fine, some of the kits now come with Ph testers

are we talking just a simple splashback here of a few tiles high or a larger area in a kitchen?
personally, I'd remove as much paint as possible if it's loose, sand over whatever is remaining, use a suitable primer for the adhesive and then tile away. but that's only if they are small lightweight ceramics.

Many paint stripper are now water based rather than solvent and can be naturalised after with a simple wash
