    Only you can tell. Priming may not be necessary if the new paint is giving you good coverage. A decent key with 120 grit on old paint, and then 180/220 on the first topcoat.

    Cheers Dok, i think thats whats missing...just not taking right even with 2 coats..i didnt sand it as it wasnt flaking ...or dirty....ill give that a go.

    I went looking for the original tin of paint used by the painter! its being a while!. it was a dulux uno with pigment in a tin. solvent based .might explain why its not taking either. can i still get those solvent based paints i wonder

    If you are having trouble try Zinsser coverstain or Fleetwood Bloxx It. Both of these are really good adhesion primers ( oil based) and can be tinted. Just give them a good sand b4 topcoats ( especially if its water based)
