Another Wall Question

Just stripping my own hallway - going to paint rather than paper.
House built c1967 - walls generally sound and good but not bare plaster. Walls seem to have some sort of white/off white 'paint' covering the plaster. Would anyone know what this is?
Not a major problem but in some areas this has been scraped off to reveal bare plaster which has a rougher texture etc and I'm a little concerned that this difference may appear through the vinyl silk that i'll apply.
Any advice?
Thanks

Rub it down well,and use a filler to cover any major imperfections. Polycell do a base coat which will cover the rest.
