A coat of Kilz is probably a good idea. We did 2 coats of white over what was
a fairly pale pink and it covered okay and lasted a good 10 years, if anything
now it just looks like a really pale pink.Plan is for a like teal so I plan to
sand and smooth, then prime and probably 2 coats of color.I can't remember what
our local hardware store sells, a name brand paint anyway...

I have heard different advice on covering a vivid color.
One is to first do a coat that is a blend of the current color and the
final color you want.
The other is to do a coat of gray first and then the color you want.
Only time I've faced this is when I painted a room that had been a dark
green. I think I gave it one coat of Kilz and one coat of Antique White
and called it good.
The paint matters, by the way. The cheap house brand at the home
improvement center will not cover as well as a pro brand. If you know
any professional painters ask them what they use. It's probably PPG
Porter or Sherwin Williams. It costs substantially more but it's worth
it in time saved, coverage, and quality of finish.
