Applying skim coating to Concrete walls

I live in a bomb shelter - ALL the walls are concrete interior and exterior.

I was think about putting a skim coa in the half bath. Is there something I need to put on the concrete walls so it will stick or will a primer (Zinser type) work okay?

Thanks for any suggestions.

give the walls a mild acid rinse like you would before painting a garage floor before skim coating and use the primer

life begins when the kids leave home and the dog dies.
