Now question is, do I really need to sand the wall first and a coat of primer, or either one of the two is fine?
Thanks.
Wash it with TSP and prime. The DE better primer will stick to anything. I've never seen anything like it. It won't come off your hands. Wear gloves if you're not super neat. I sand to knock off little nibs and such. I use a pole sander on everything flat. Then the wash.

Too much paint.
