I'm looking to renovate my kitchen but every wall has been painted with an eggshell paint directly onto the plaster.

I have try using a scraper to remove it and take it back to the plaster but it wont budge. I have also tried to sand it down with electric sander put after painting the area i sanded, the surface was still uneven and showed through the paint.

Is there an easy way to remove this eggshell or another alternate, could it be plastered/skimmed over?

Any suggestions welcome.

Cheers
