What if your room was painted a lite pink about a year ago and im about to paint it purple should you use a primer or something else or should you just go right over the old paint?

You can just go right over the old paint. However, I would suggest that you prime the wall first. An economical trick is to have the primer tinted to the paint color (any place you are buying a custom color can do this for you) then you can put on the finish coat and it will cover just like you put on two finish coats. If you do not know what the custom color is you will probably need to put on two finish coats, the first coat will act as the primer.
