Answer 3

You will be better off using primer.  Probably two coats.

Answer 4

Always prime first.  You will use less paint and have no chance of a bleed through.

Answer 5

if you aren't using a good quality paint then you'd be better off using a primer first.

if you're using a good quality paint then you'll just need an extra coat.

if this were red or orange or even a school bus yellow--I'd say get a primer regardless of the quality of the paint.   Banana yellow--not too bad.

Answer 6

you dont have to prime its just going to take an extra coat of paint to cover the yellow
