Yes I don’t recommend what I did but it worked and I haven’t repainted in 15 years! First lightly rough up paint with sandpaper,actually mine was wallpaper that I couldn’t budge, using a clean damp rag wipe wall down good, allow to dry not a smidge of dampness, then paint with white Kilz, allow Kilz to dry overnight and proceed to paint.
