    Do I have to use undercoat after primer for white gloss wood paint ?

    Hi guys I could use abit of advice, I’m painting my bathroom door using johnstones non-drip gloss white paint, it was previously paint gloss white but it started to flake away real bad so wanting to paint it again. I’ve sanded it down and applied one coat of Johnstone’s any surface paint primer last night, I was just wondering if I need to use undercoat on it too or can I just use gloss paint now ? How many coats of primer should I do first ?
