Applying primer or any additional topcoat coating to already peeling paint is not recommended.

Remove all loose and flaking paint with a scraper or wire brush, sand the surface and feather the edges. If the flaking occurs in multiple layers of paint, use of filler may be necessary.

We recommend KILZ KLEAR® Clear Sealer & Bonding Primer – a high performance fast-drying, multi-surface clear primer developed to seal highly porous surfaces inside and outside your home. It is also recommended for use when painting the same topcoat paint color on top of an existing paint coat.
Apply a quality primer
After you have cleaned the walls before painting, using a quality primer will help to block any staining if the peeling was caused by mold or moisture and get a smoother surface to apply fresh paint over.
KILZ® products are particularly well known for their stain blocking abilities and are popular for use in a variety of applications from priming interior drywall to cover up nicotine stains to prepping cabinets with primer before applying a topcoat.
A bonding primer or an oil-based primer is recommended for surfaces with peeling paint issues. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for the specific primer you're using. If there are any visible cracks, holes, or imperfections on the surface, use a suitable filler or spackling compound to repair them.
Old or flaking paint will need to be removed prior to plaster being applied. Otherwise, there's a danger that sections of the plaster will pull away from the wall or begin to crack. Start by giving the walls a good wash with soap and water to loosen and remove dust, flaking paint, and grease.
Over time, fluctuating temperatures and humidity levels can make paint peel. For spaces where this is normal like kitchens, using KILZ 3® Premium Primer (known for its exceptional adhesion and durability) before you paint can help ensure your paint job lasts longer.
Spackling paste is excellent for filling small areas. Larger low or shallow spots may be repaired better with joint compound. If the paint has chipped off a wooden surface, use a wood filler instead. For peeling paint on drywall seams, try using drywall taping tools to fill long cracks.

Peeling paint is most commonly created when water gets under the paint. Therefore, the most common areas for peeling paint to occur are in the wet areas of a house or building e.g. bathroom, laundry or kitchen. However, there may be other issues with the premises such as excess humidity or a leaky roof.
White vinegar contains acetic acid, which can soften the bond between paint and wood. Now, this isn't some miracle agent that will melt the paint off in seconds—vinegar doesn't work like a chemical stripper.
Even if you don't have peeling paint, it's always a good idea to scuff up the surface of the old paint with 180-grit sandpaper to provide a good base for the new paint. You don't have to remove all the paint, just focus on the areas where it peels off easily and scuff the other areas where it still adheres.
