Primer vs Paint Unfinished Interior Wood Doors
I have two interior french doors made from pine that need painted white. They are new and never been stained or painted. Can I just paint them twice or is it really better to use a primer and then paint them? I have plenty of paint but ran out of primer so I would have to go buy more for this if I need it. That is why I'm asking.

Thanks for the quick answer. So I guess it sounds like I can just paint them twice.

JK. I will go get more primer.
