Sorry could explain what you need advice with?
If someone painted walks with sand paint, you can paint over it but you might have to use a deep nap roller to get good coverage. You may also see some of the texture through the new paint.
You have to remove it
if you want a smooth finish , you have to remove it
Sand paint is used to hide imperfections on walls and ceilings or make horizontal surfaces slip resistant. You can paint right over it. Use a good stain blocking primer with a 1/2" nap roller. You need the thicker nap to cover the texture. Then paint with your color. Some of the texture will show.
I agree with Mary! If your looking for a smooth finish it will need to be removed.
