ONE LAYER OF TEXTURED PAINT.

IT WAS EMULSION BEFORE SO I SCAPED IT,AND PEELING BADLY, BUT THERE WERE SOME MORE OILY LOOKING BITS I CANT WORK OUT IF ITS GLOSS OR SOME SORT OF PATCHES OF PRIMER.

Its probably polytex..you might be able to shift it by warming it..not toasting! ...with a hot air stripper and using a filling knife to scrape it with...the thinner blade gets under the layers better

Some times a steam stripper can soften it enough to get it off. Have to watch out though as your working upside down with boiling water.
