You don't normally need to prime a wall that is already painted.


Not normally, but in a case such as this -- where he's painting over a color
that will be difficult to hide -- a tinted stain-blocking primer can be a
great help.

Primers have a lot less hiding power than paint. Why would you prime
and paint when two coats of paint would cover better?

You're missing the point. Two finish coats is a given anyway. The question is
one coat of tinted blocking primer plus two finish coats, vs. three finish
coats.
