skim coat on walls

Tags: Painting
I recently had my kitchen remodeled and they skim coated the walls. I twas up to me to then paint the walls. Well after about a week I had problems with the paint pealing - I was told it was because the primer was bad. However I'm not convinced of that, is there a problem painting over a skim coated wall? Does it have to dry for a certain time?

What did they skim coat your walls with? Was it joint compound or plaster?
