My friend was able to use one coat, but she was painting the wall a slightly darker color. I painted a dark wall with a nearly white color and had to use two coats. The first coat looked horrible and I was surprised that the coverage was great once I put on the second.

How do you paint stained gypsum?
First use a good primer, such as Kilz or Behr. You will need at least one coat of this, for very bad stains you could use two coats. After that you should be good to paint over top of it. If you are going to paint a very light colour, such as white or soft yellow, you might want to use Behr paint and primer in one, as it offers the best color coverage.
Can Behr primer and paint be used over oil paint?
When a manufacturer claims that their paint is a paint and primer in one, all they are promising is that you can use that paint as the first coat over drywall or a previously painted surface that is clean and in good shape other than a few ordinary repair materials like spackle or putty. These paints can not normally be used a s bridge between oil and latex paints. For these applications, and any other application other than a simple repaint, a specialty primer should be used.

Can your mix latex paint with its own tinted primer together and apply as one coat?
It will work over another latex paint, however it won't be as scrubable as a normal top coat, and it won't adhere as well as a paint over a primer. Better to apply the primer, then the paint. If the surface is clean and deglossed though, you really don't need a primer and can coat the surface with a quality wall paint.

You don't specify on what material you are using the primer on.In either case primer is paint that is made to seal and bond to the material you are painting, which in turn helps the regulat paint to bond.

Do paints come with primer in them?
No, you buy the primer separate and paint with it first, let it dry then get the paint and paint over the primer. There are several paint applications where the paint can be used as a primer, and this is called a self-priming paint. In addition, many paints are marketed as a paint and primer in one, however, that refers to its ability to adhere well to a surface and to cover the previous coat. In more difficult priming situations, like staining or painting with a very dark color over a light color, it's recommended to use a dedicated primer followed by a top coat.
