If the paint adheres well probably best to leave it on. Take a piece of
adhesive tape and put it on the paint and remove it. If it takes a
large chunk of paint with it, probably best to remove it first. Would
also depend on how much you need the board to adhere. If it is not
supporting a lot of weight, you may not need to be concerned.

Or better yet, try a test spot with the actual adhesive.

I've used Construction Adhesive caulk to adhere faux stones as an
accent on painted stucco.

"Urethane" caulk Would be better. The stuff will "stick to a ball of
lard." Used to built cars, train cars and school buses. It will not
come out of your jeans; plus you have to eventually chew it off your
fingers.

Spit.

Just pointing out that if the paint is not stuck, no matter how good the
adhesive sticks to the paint, if the paint pulls off the bond will break.

Not sure I would use polyurethane adhesive like Gorilla glue and chalk
or construction adhesive might be better.
