After a brick wall has been erected it is required to finish it well. So , a mixture of cement( usually portland) , water and fine sand is applied in required consistency.
However , paints do not hold fast on them, so a layer of thin white cement(called PUTTY in India),is also applied. Putty cannot be applied directly on brick walls.

How do you remove textured paint from a wall?
You are going to have to sand it. If the texture is very fine, then just change the color, and if you want a vast change then you have to sand it (fine sand paper if the texture is fine and a higher grit of sand paper if the texture is quite deep.) If you can't be bothered doing this then you'll have to take the wall down and wall-board it. The other option you have (I'd do this if the texture is deep) is plastering the wall and this is only meant if there are rough swirls on the wall. Sandy type paint should be lightly sanded down to prepare for your new coat of paint.
How many days do you wait after plastering a wall before you paint it?
It depends upon the "plaster" you are using.If you are using a gypsum-based veneer, it will take a day or two, depending on the area plastered, the humidity and temperature. Gypsum plaster (joint compound) can be painted as soon as it completely dries, but any dust should be removed from the plaster surface with a damp towel.Actual plaster, new or a thin covering layer, has to "cure" (set) as it is highly alkaline and may react with paint, especially oil base paints. Your plaster supplier can give you the best time frame, which could be 30 days or even longer.
