The NY Times posted a guide to pragmatic painting. I wish someone would explain the rules about primer. Do you really need it when you're painting over paint?

It depends on the circumstances. If the walls are in good shape and clean, then no. If you are drastically changing colors, going from a gloss to a flat, any patching, then I suggest priming. This will ensure a quality finish.

Thanks for the advice! That explanation makes a lot of sense.
