I remember that stuff! And I was thinking the same thing . . . I will probably be of no help, but have you tried sanding the wall at all just to see what happens? My best guess is there must be something to smear over the wall to make it smooth again, but not sure. I am certain others will be more helpful. I feel for you, good luck.
You can try putting Rynolite over the course surface. As this is plaster of parys based, you will have to put a bonding liquid over it before you paint again.. There is also Skimcoat that you can get at most hardware shops. Good luck. I have a wall like that too....
. Consider using a heavily textured paint roller and use the existing wall texture to your advantage. A good paint with primer already in it would help tremendously. Good luck with your re-imagining project!
Try some "Killz" and start over. Your wall can be black and you can paint with "Killz" then waint white over the black wall and it will not come through. Houses with heavy smokers and all the nicotine in the walls, yuck. Paint with "Killz" and paint the color you want over it. It's awesome stuff. I'm unsure if the US carries "Killz" but there should be something simalar.
I would use Skimcoat. It may take more than one coat to fill in and cover all the high points. When you a done you will have very thin coating plaster over the "sand"
If you are wanting to remove it then you may have to chip it off
if you still have the "paint" can it may tell you how to clean up after it drys.
I'd get a bucket of drywall mud and you could either skip-trowel it or you could give it a smooth coat, whatever you like best.
I would use dry wall mud too. Then I would prime with a good primer. Then paint.
I'm going out on a limb here, but I was wondering if you could spray it with water and then use a putty knife to scrape it off. You can do that with popcorn ceilings if they haven't been painted. They come off easily but make a big mess so use plastic dropcloths to contain the mess. You could try it in a small area and see if it works. I would get it pretty wet before you start scraping. I hope it works for you.
It's a great product. The texture should still show, just not as pronounced because of the paint layers. Could test in an area, if like, go for it. If not, sand or replace.
Maybe u could do a feature wall with pallet boards cut to different shapes with nice colors or stains. Maybe even beedboard.just a thought.
