It's best to denib the wall to remove any loose or cracked paint work. Then apply a mist coat followed by 2 full coats.
No dont need to do this just give couple coats of grey
Always prime your walls before painting if the surface is porous. The surface is porous when it absorbs water, moisture, oil, odors or stains
To get a good finish its best to sugar soap the walls clean, give them a sand and a fill, then prime again white, this helps to cover any flashing from filler and gives you a brand new surface to which you can then apply the grey. If the walls are in good nick then give them a good wash and you can apply the grey straight to it.
For best results I would always repaint walls white before applying any colour
Sand down walls, dust off and apply a watered down 1st coat.
Is recommended
Only if you are painting with a diffrent style of paint like silk on emulsion ect.
Sometimes a light sanding is good to key for the next color.
No not at all two or three coats of grey will be fine
Hi, no you don't need to prime it, you just will need 1 more coat to have the finishing you decided. So not 2 but maybe 3 coats needed.
it is not needed
