Question

The walls in my basement are un-textured but painted. We are planning to texture them and then paint. I was wondering if I need to put anything over the old paint before I texture or if this is unnecessary?

Normally it is fine to texture over paint, the only problen is if the walls weren't properly preped when painted or some cheap paints might blister due to the moisture of the texture, if you are afriad of this you can prime first with an oil based primer to seal the paint.

If it were me, I would try a wall and let it dry, checking frenquently and if no problems arose I would continue.
