Depending on the existing color vs. new color, two coats should be fine.
If you aren't patching lots of huge areas then you can spot prime with a tinted primer, It should work fine. Lots of huge areas to patch..you might as well do a complete prime job
What type of paint is on the walls right now? flat, egg, gloss?..oil base or latex?
I used to be a loyal Benny Moore customer...not so much anymore. The newer Benny Moore latex paints dry way to quickly, as the years go by they seem to dry faster and faster...much faster than they used to and I hate that. Benny M swears they haven't changed their formulaton but they are fibbing..big time.
I've been using the Muralo Ultra Water Borne paints...EXCELLENT..great open time, excellent coverage, feathers well and rolls well and is a joy to use when cutting in trim.
As Muralo says...similar to using an oil based paint...not really, but leaps better than Benny Moore latex. Priced to compete with standard latex
