Key surface with an angle grinder, go into your local Johnstone's decorator centre get a bag of key coat primer, give the wall a tight pass and key it then bang your sand and cement on
I told them to grind it or eml , but they’ve done one before and it’s fine ...
 
Parex Parinter renovation render. it is a base coat that can go straight on to painted surfaces.
 
Surely no matter what you prime it with the S&C will only be stuck to the paint? If so that seems like a bad idea to me? Scratch through with a grinder would me at least some contact with something solid enough to hold the S&C.

larry, have a look at the Parex Perinter web page. we have used this material for several years. it is used extensively in the renovation of lime and sand and cement render. labour saving.

I don't doubt it's very good, but all it's doing is providing a key for the S&C to stick to the surface of the paint. So the entire weight of the S&C layer is only held in place by the adhesion that the paint has to whatever's below.

Looking at that picture there are multiple layers of paint which makes it worse as it's depending on how well the top layer of paint is stuck to the previous layer.
